LEVEL UP YOUR ART BY ENGAGING IN SOCIAL CHANGE

A Class on Artivism for Visual & Performing Artists (professionals & hobbyists)

Your art can do so much more than decorate a wall or spark a conversation. It can play a bigger part in shaping history! Social change starts with a bold vision and social movements require creative thinkers! Especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the news, hopeless or lost about what to do, OR if you’re feeling fiery and looking for guidance and comrades, this is the space for you! In this class, you will develop ideas in how to use your art forms and crafts to positively impact your community and change society. Through creative prompts and exercises, we will put words and images onto paper to capture our utopian ideas. No idea is too radical in this safe space! This will not be your typical vision board, collage-making, creative writing, or journaling workshop. This is the start of an epic journey. You will have the opportunity to share aloud your visions for a transformed society and then, collectively, we’ll work backwards to determine SMART goals and arts-based strategies (both visual and performative) for achieving our visions. You will leave the workshop with a piece of art JUST FOR YOU, a drafted plan for your future Artivism (Art & Activism) project, and extra resources to deepen your understanding of the history of Artivism.
