Artists and Communities Working Together for Change

Art is a critical tool to bring underground community stories to light and shift to a societal narrative that values everyone, not only the wealthy and powerful. 

Based on our powerful storytelling process, we plan a multiplatform campaign

led by artists and youth to create a vision for a post-crisis city where everyone thrives.

​

We will engage the transformative power of arts and culture to advance equity

in our communities and our city.
