Art & Revolution is a unique arts organization:

We emphasize politics and direct action in our work. We see activism as crucial to meaningful arts expression. We believe that our politics suffer without creative vision in the same way that our art suffers without political or social relevance.

While protest and direct action have been an essential part of every social change movement in US history, these forms of resistance are often marginalized by corporate media, are too easily dismissed by those we want to reach, and often bore participants. More people are feeling the burden of the ever-widening gap between the wealthy and the poor. Corporate power is on the rise, and it is assaulting our communities and the earth. We need powerful grassroots mass movements that can stand up to this oppression.

Creating new forms of resistance that can inspire participants and observers is crucial if our socal change groups are to grow into mass movements. Art and Revolution organizations bring people together to create new ways to effectively resist corporate domination, environmental degradation and social injustice. By developing creative projects with other social change organizations, we work to build stronger communities of resistance capable of making radical, positive social change.
