Our unique Art for Social Action approach strengthens leadership and mobilizes communities to improve their environmental, health and social conditions.

Art for Social Action Pyramid

Cultivating Agents of Change: ArtCorps guides stakeholders through a process of personal and group transformation. Through arts-based workshops, participants are able to access the potential of their individual and collective power and understand their capacity to improve their communities. Transferring Technical Knowledge: ArtCorps makes technical knowledge accessible to all types of learners. From deforestation and climate change to reproductive health and indigenous rights, ArtCorps’ creative workshops allow stakeholders to understand critical issues that affect them.
Developing Critical and Creative Thinkers: Stakeholders sharpen their capacity to critically examine their worlds and imagine innovative solutions to daunting community challenges through art processes that require team effort, reflection and creative thinking. Moving to Action: By the end of the program, emerging leaders will be able to replicate innovative processes that engage others on key issues. Through creative strategies such as arts-based campaigns and theater productions with facilitated dialogue, they will apply their training to inspire positive change.

Make social change easier for advocates and grassroots organizations.
