WE ARE THE SCHOOL OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP

In a time of crisis art and artists can provide new ways to look for solutions. Artists – as citizens of the world – are equipped and have the vision to craft, invent, build, shape, repair, restore, restructure, reframe, and resuscitate political discourse and social justice.

We believe art is a powerful platform that gives voice for civic action and social change. Our goal is to combine art and activism as foundations for participation in this election year.

The goal of the artist must be aesthetic development, and in a universal sense, to make in his own way some contribution to culture.

When you think about the forms imagination can take, it can take place anywhere between the nightmare and the dream. That’s part of the thinking that goes into developing a social or political artwork.
– Suzanne Lacy, Artist

                                                                                               

Artists, too, can think like politicians — using their cunning and virtuosity to harness attention and generate gestures that circulate rapidly and virally, to the widest possible audience, including (and especially) those in power.
– Claire Bishop, Art historian and writer
