Art + Activism fosters an environment in which artists collaborate and use their art to educate and instigate change.
Art + Activism is a campus-wide program that focuses on sparking dialogue within the student body and the larger community concerning the issues of our time. We engage with student work and provide opportunities for students to define their ideals and explore what is most important to them through their own art and the art of others.
