Purpose for Establishing the Association
For some time, an artistic community has existed whose purpose is the promotion of art and artists. The community makes use of all forms, methods, and available means to support and promote art.
In order to strengthen this legal community both personally and over time, it has become necessary for the interested parties to unite in a legal entity with its own legal personality. The association, as a corporation with an idealistic purpose, represents the most suitable legal structure for this objective.
The founding members fully agree with these determinations.
The Executive Board is instructed to register the association in the commercial register.
