Our Mission
Create • Impact • Together
ArtRising is a collective impact project in which artists utilize their creative skills to address critical issues of our time through socially engaged practice, art that is collaborative, often participatory and involves people as the medium or material of the work. The overall intention of the ArtRising! projects is that while distinct elements of the community and our environment benefit directly from the creative influence of participating artists and supporters, the collective effect will significantly impact, elevate, and shape our collective future .
