The Art So­ci­ety ex­plained that In­de­pen­dence—An Artis­tic Per­spec­tive is the state or qual­i­ty of be­ing in­de­pen­dent.

It is the free­dom from the in­flu­ence, con­trol, or de­ter­mi­na­tion of an­oth­er or oth­ers.

In or­der to achieve cre­ative free­dom, one has to think freely and adopt an ap­proach that is un­con­ven­tion­al.

Artis­tic in­de­pen­dence (or free­dom of artis­tic ex­pres­sion) is the free­dom to imag­ine, cre­ate, and share di­verse cul­tur­al ex­pres­sions with­out fear of cen­sor­ship, cre­ative in­ter­fer­ence, or oth­er pres­sures.
