Known for his colourful, text-based slogans painted on placards and banners, artist Bob and Roberta Smith believes passionately in arts education, having created statement paintings such as Art Makes Children Powerful and All Schools Should be Art Schools in his signature style. For this new commission, the movement's title Art For Your World was deemed significant enough to be the chosen slogan for this latest piece of art activism. The original artwork was sold as part of the Art For Your World online auction at Sothebys in October 2021.
