Our goal is to amplify and support the creative works of diverse emerging artists while igniting social change in our communities, one action at a time.
Through our platform, we feature the works of diverse emerging artists in a gallery format where their artwork is available to view 24/7. In exchange for viewing their artwork, audience members are prompted to take actionable steps towards supporting an organization of the artist's choice, which may include:
-
signing a petition
-
listening to a podcast
-
reading an article/book
-
watching an educational video
-
researching more about the issue
-
donating to support the organization's work
-
creating artwork in response to the artist's work
-
sharing resources and critical information on social media
-
having conversations with friends/family about the issue
-
responding to a prompt to reflect more deeply on the issue
-
getting involved with the organization through volunteer work
-
or any other action that feels relevant & meaningful to engaging with issue
Our hope through this exchange-based platform is to amplify + support the visibility & creativity of diverse emerging artists, who historically have been marginalized, excluded, overlooked, and underfunded in this white dominant & euro-elitist artistic world. At the same time, we want to empower audiences to learn about & take on real community issues with tangible, actionable steps that can ripple effect in impact for the organizations & causes we support.
