SOAR was created and is maintained by art advocate and web designer Hannah West in Jacksonville, Oregon to promote our diverse and talented arts community to our visitors and the rest of the world.
Are you interested in who’s putting art to work for social change? Thinking about a project that uses art to make a difference? Check out Animating Democracy, a new website “Fostering Civic Engagement Through the Arts” unveiled just a few days ago by Americans for the Arts. The site profiles current and completed projects with a unique search page that allows you to enter the terms you like to find out what’s going on, what’s been done and where there’s room for new work. The site also features a directory of the artists and organizations who are involved, IMPACT, a section detailing how the arts have made a difference, and resources for putting your own art to work for social awareness, consciousness and change.
After a very brief look at the site I saw many projects which were worthy of a closer look to learn more about the ways artists have used their talents to bring to light social and political situations which they strongly felt a need to share. We recommend you check it out yourself, and if you find something particularly awesome (you will!) let us know so we can share with our readers! The site is still under development, so if you find any broken links or other problems, be sure to email the webmasters and let them know using the link on each page.
