Arts & Social Change Mapping Initiative
With support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Open Society Institute, CrossCurrents Foundation, and the Lambent Foundation, Animating Democracy has launched the Arts & Social Change Mapping Initiative to map and highlight the spectrum of ways the arts are being activated to engage and make change.
The initiative aims to enhance understanding of:
- the growing spectrum of arts activity that fosters civic engagement and social change.
- the expanding circle of artists and arts organizations actively pursuing this work.
- the funders who support such work. A current portrait of funding support available from a range of arts, social change and other funders and a centralized online resource will make this important work visible and serve to link change agents, artists, funders, and an interested public.
To learn more about the initiative, visit the Animating Democracy Special Initiatives webpage.
