Critical Situation in Costa Rica

Greetings, fellow AWers!


I hail from Costa Rica and we are going through a very critical artistic situation and I want the world to know. Right now, there is no legal entity that controls what artists can do, which I find to be the right decision, but the government wants to create a Professional Artists Union which would control what artists can say or do.

Also, which is reason for concern, is that they will ask for degrees in writing if you want to publish, for degrees in Painting if you want to paint and so on.

This worries me because it's an oppressive behavior that contradicts our so called "democratic" country.

This just for you to know that happens in our country.

Well, we call them Professional Colleges I just was lacking the right word. We have one that's called the CFIA which dictates the rules for engineers and architects and they want to the same with artists.
