<p class="MsoPlainText">Art Resources Transfer is a nonprofit organization committed to documenting and disseminating artists' voices and work to the broadest possible public. Our two programs, A.R.T. Press and the D.U.C., activate the key components of the
printed book—publication, distribution, and spaces of reading—to create more egalitarian access to the arts and literacy.

<p class="MsoPlainText">The <b><span style="color:#1F4E79">Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program (D.U.C.)</span></b><span style="color:#1F4E79">
</span>distributes books on contemporary art and culture to public schools, libraries, prisons, and alternative education centers nationwide, free of charge. D.U.C. books create access to the arts and literacy these institutions could not otherwise afford to
acquire. To date, the D.U.C. has placed over 496,484 free books in 8,785 public institutions across the country.
