Art Workers News, also known as Art & Artists, was the highly influential artist-run publication of the Foundation for the Community of Artists (FCA), an organization that grew out of the National Art Workers Community (a splinter group of the Art Workers’ Coalition). From 1971 to 1989, the publication was the paper of record for the world of working artists. Its circulation reached a high of 40,000 subscribers. Originally a four-page newsletter called The Art Workers Newsletter, the publication grew into a monthly newspaper called Artworkers News. During the early 1980s, FCA changed the publication's name to Art&Artists and made it a bi-monthly. The initial staff included Mary Albanese, Pamela Bickford, Bernie Brown (columnist for the New York Post), Sandy Relis, Alex Gross (who in protest to AT&T wore part of a dial telephone around his neck), Peter Leggieri and Jacqueline Skiles. Subsequently, Robert Perlmutter (of Pearl Paint), Daniel Grant, Eva Cockcroft, Larry Rosing, Steven s’Soreff and illustrator Barbara Nessim joined. Rather than reviewing shows, AWN/A&A focused on topics central to the lives of working artists in the 1970s and ’80s, (and continuing today): artist housing, health hazards, business practices, health insurance, women’s issues, issues affecting artists of color, law and the arts and censorship were impacting the daily life of artists. The publication featured, as well, contemporary theories and philosophies in the arts, general news articles, a select number of book reviews, commentaries, editorials and special issues. The special issues were wide-ranging, reflecting the times and the interests of the editors and writers who were involved at a given time over the course of its existence. Special issues included: “Art Against Apartheid.” “Art and Sports,” “Are There Too Many Artists?,” “Tilted Arc by Richard Serra,” "Museums," and “Artists Against US Intervention in Central America.” Art Workers News was also the publication of record for the Comprehensive Employment Act (CETA) Artists Program in New York City and documented the work of artists in all media associated with the project. AWN/A&A produced 160 issues over eighteen years. Editors and production staff were volunteers; writers and photographers were paid (minimally) in accordance with the belief that people, including artists and writers, deserved to be paid for their work. The journal newspaper gave voice to many artists, critics and journalists who were prominent in the cultural milieu of its time, as well as to younger professionals at the start of their careers. Many of the original newsprint issues and some microfiche editions are catalogued in libraries across the U.S., Canada and Australia. The Fales Library at New York University has most of the volumes, and is a source for researchers, artists, art historians, students and scholars. Gwen Allen, a professor at San Francisco State University includes additional information about the publication in her book,
