Creating Freely. Sharing Boldly.

At FreeArtists, we believe independent artists flourish in a world where creativity is not controlled, fenced in, or filtered through the demands of corporations. True artistic freedom means our work is part of the living culture, not locked away behind legal walls.

Why Free Artists Support Open AI Training

AI is not the enemy. But closed AI, controlled by profit-driven companies and trained on restricted datasets? That’s not in our interest.

Independent artists benefit when AI tools are trained on everything—our work included. Why?

• Because we gain more powerful tools for creating, collaborating, and reaching audiences.
• Because open training builds equity, where everyone’s art contributes to a shared creative commons.
• Because when we’re part of the dataset, we’re part of the future.

The alternative is letting the industry define art’s value behind closed doors. We say: let the machines learn from us all.

Sampling Is the Foundation of Creative Evolution

Sampling is not theft—it’s transformation. For generations, artists have built on each other’s work to create new meaning, new movements, new sounds. Censoring sampling means silencing culture.

We stand for:

• Unrestricted reuse of recorded material in transformative works.
• No opt-outs, no permission slips, no licensing fees for cultural growth.
• A world where sharing isn’t punished—it’s honored.

If we want a vibrant creative ecosystem, we can’t afford to silo inspiration. Art grows through regeneration, not restriction.

Building a Shared Commons for the Brave

FreeArtists is a growing alliance of creators who reject the artificial scarcity imposed by copyright maximalism. We are:

• Building a free and open archive for remixing, regenerating, and reimagining art.
• Educating artists on why open systems matter—not just ideologically, but practically and financially.
• Creating tools, zines, platforms, and communities that reflect the real values of DIY and underground culture.

We’re not asking permission. We’re not waiting for legal reform. We’re doing it ourselves—right now, with or without the industry’s blessing.

→ Be a Free Artist. Share your work. Remix what you love. Train the future. Create without apology.
