ArtCorps Artists use theater, storytelling, music, digital media and other creative facilitation techniques to educate and inspire people to participate actively in improving the environmental, health and social conditions in their communities.
Each ArtCorps Artist works directly with a local development organization that is an expert in its field, training both community members and organization staff in our field-tested Art for Social Action methodology. Through participatory art, ArtCorps Artists strengthen dialogue between community members and the organization, improve community education and empower local leadership. Partners include organizations such as Oxfam America, CARE and Wildlife Conservation Society.
