What is the British Independent Artists Association? The British Independent Artists Association is a not-for-profit collective of independent artists with a wide range of interests, including the arts and culture sector. These include an exhibition of creative writing, sound-making and visual art across different media, education and the development of public space and projects that encourage the public to engage and enjoy London. The association represents over 300 art works from artists and writers across the UK, and is dedicated to advancing and extending the public sphere of art and culture in the UK. Founded in 1841, the BIA was established in the first years of the industrial revolution in Britain. Members include artists, writers and musicians, and their works are in the collection of the National Gallery of Wales. The BIA is a not-for-profit organisation made up of members from all over the UK.
