 about 

New Art Brut (NAB) was co-founded in 2017 by artists Tom Liesegang and Whitney Klare.NAB celebrates and promotes art that confronts injustice; societal, personal, racial, global, and environmental. Our goal is to raise awareness of the vexing issues of our times.

Many artists are expressing their concerns through their work, however, they are independent voices. A lone voice will often struggle to be heard. NAB aims to create a loud chorus with a sole purpose: to create a new global art narrative that will raise awareness of the issues and events that would otherwise be lost in the slipstream of silence.

“In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself 

is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and 

schizophrenia.”
