TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT is a resource for artist self-advocacy and building better, more equitable relationships between artists and institutions. It is a document, a workshop, and an open-source tool. It is how Make or Break starts conversations with people who want to work with us.
Make or Break’s own Terms of Engagement is a living document that can be found online here. Artists and collectives are invited to adapt and use this as the basis for their own terms of engagement. We are developing an open glossary of terms, where artists can add their own to a growing list for anyone to draw from.

Since 2024, Terms of Engagement workshops have been devised for Accessible Arts, Brand X, CuriousWorks, Inner West Council, and Utp. For workshops, contact makeorbreakart@gmail.com.
V1.0 of Make or Break’s Terms of Engagement was devised following a series of Thinking in Fours conversations in 2021 with Ju Bavyka, Lauren Carroll Harris, Clare Cooper, Jamie Lewis, and Emily Sexton. Thank you for sharing time, frustrations, energy, and ideas.
