Art as Activism

We believe that activism should be personal. It can take many forms with meaning being made by both the creator and the receiver of the message. We believe in the power of stories and connections with art as a mode of communication to help us make sense of the complexities of our world. We aim to amplify the perspectives of global youth with our Art as Activism initiatives. Please enjoy our online gallery of student art, ideas, and solutionary actions. Find more information on our current Calls for Submission at the bottom of this page below the Gallery.
