Arts & Democracy

Arts & Democracy We support cross-pollination between arts and culture, participatory democracy, and social justice.

The creative power of arts and culture—especially among those who have been traditionally disenfranchised—is a catalyst for action. The Arts & Democracy Project builds the momentum of a cultural movement that links arts and culture, participatory democracy, and social justice. We catalyze and support cross-pollination between sectors, cultures, and generations.
