Promote This Nonprofit
Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture
Mission: Art Works for Change strives to harness the transformative power of art to promote awareness, provoke dialogue, and inspire action. We seek to address issues of serious concern—human rights, social justice, gender equity, environmental stewardship and sustainability—in creative, inspiring, and ultimately positive ways by engaging with audiences fully, creating experiences that are at once emotional, intellectual, and sensory. In each community hosting an exhibit, we partner with local organizations to create related programming that leverages the artwork to foster dialogue and build awareness of the issues addressed. In this way, our exhibitions serve as a crucible where artists, museums, advocacy organizations, and local community may unite as a collective force for change.
Results: Since 2008, our museum-quality exhibitions have been hosted by fine art institutions all over the world, and have featured artists whose work promotes awareness, provokes dialogue and inspires action. We recently launched a new online exhibition platform to broaden the reach of our projects and have partnered with other nonprofit organizations to amplify our message.
