Artists in Community International

Artists in Community International Artists In Community International inspire and educate communities, individuals and leaders to be creative in and through art-making.

Artists in Community International are artists working across a range of visual and performing arts practices. It was founded by Alex Pinder (also known as Jyoti Mukherjee), actor, theatre director and teacher and Anne Riggs PhD artist, trainer with a special interest in trauma, grief and loss to engage and support artists and arts practice in communities. We provide engaging programs and projec

ts that are inclusive, challenging, dynamic and joyous. Our work is contemporary art-based with international flavours – inspired by our roamings and backgrounds. We bring art out of traditional art spaces and into the community. We are especially interested in giving creative opportunities to those who would otherwise be unlikely to experience the joy, fun, challenges and expression that the arts can bring into people’s lives. In 2013 we were nominated finalists in the Australia Asia Arts Awards for our work with street children in Nepal.

Our Story

Artists in Community International work across a range of visual and performing arts practices bringing the arts into the community - particularly those who have little or no access to the arts. It was founded by Alex Pinder (also known as Jyoti Mukherjee), actor, theatre director and teacher and Anne Riggs PhD artist, trainer with a special interest in trauma, grief and loss to engage and support artists and arts practice in communities. Artists In Community International inspire and educate communities, individuals and leaders to be creative in and through art-making. We provide engaging programs and projects that are inclusive, challenging, dynamic and joyous. We run an annual project - Make Do Tell - in Nepal and India. This project is entirely funded through the generous donations of our many supporters, and we donate our time. We bring art out of traditional art spaces and into the community. We are especially interested in giving creative opportunities to those who would otherwise be unlikely to experience the joy, fun, challenges and expression that the arts can bring into people’s lives. Our main interests are in arts in health / wellbeing, and arts in education. We work closely with our partner organizations so that our work is needed and wanted - where possible we offer training as part of our program You can read about our work on www.artistsincommunity.me and our individual work on our websites : www.anneriggs.com and www.alexpinder.com.
