The sole purpose of the Joint Council is to verify the legitimacy -- the honesty -- of the accredited artist to art fair patrons, the art fair director, and to artists and colleagues within the art fair industry.

Please note that it is not the purpose of the Joint Council to pass judgement on the aesthetic value of any artist's work; that is, whether it's good work, bad work, or anything in between, but only to verify that the artist himself or herself did indeed execute, or produce, the work.
