ORIGINS

The National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) convened Don’t Delete Art in March 2020, to counter the censorship of art by social media platforms. The project was originally founded as a collaborative initiative, uniting human rights and artistic freedom groups, art collectors, and artists in support of defending artistic freedom online. A cohort of organizations and individual artists have contributed to, collectively curated, and maintained Don’t Delete Art from its launch in 2020 to its official adoption by NCAC in June of 2026.
