Artivist Meet Up
Do you want to use your creativity to change the world? All artists, activists, ARTIVISTS, creative and critical thinkers are welcome! Let’s learn from one another and support each other’s initiatives. Led by Dannie Snyder, Interdisciplinary Artivist, we'll discuss our goals, choices in tactics, what's working, what's not, how we can avoid burnout, and resources for developing our theories and practices. This is also a great space to find allies and collaborators as well as to recruit volunteers for your projects.
Dannie Snyder is an independent voter that facilitates many nonpolitical and bipartisan projects that use the arts to inspire local and global change, particularly in regards to her work in access to medicine and healthy foods. While some of her projects may lean more to the left or right, her goal is to foster a safe space where we can all be seen and heard as human beings. We all have fears and flaws, so here is a space where we encourage each other in pursuing our dreams and where we can grow, both personally and as a community.
this is a FREE event, but please register as space is limited
