About the author: There is an art to every practice, activism included. It’s what distinguishes the innovative from the routine, the elegant from the mundane. One thing that can help the “art of activism” is applying an artistic aesthetic tactically, strategically, and organizationally. The practice of artistic activism has only accelerated in recent times, as savvy organizers learn to use the increasingly mediated political terrain of signs and symbols, stories and spectacles to their advantage. From Jesus’ parables to the Tea Party’s protests, working artfully makes activism effective.
Until now there has not been a singular space to share, discuss and analyze tactics and strategies of artistic activism. There has not been a place where researchers across a range of disciplines can gather to share their investigations and their challenges, a place where skilled practitioners in artistic activism can share their expertise and cultivate new tactics through cross-disciplinary collaboration. The Center for Artistic Activism fills this important need. Visit CAA's website HERE.

We and many artists in the Rogue Valley use LinkedIn to advance our business networks. We found this article quite by accident and posted it asap since it’s information that might be vital to many of our friends and colleagues. We went ahead and used the LeakedIn tool and found our password had NOT been cracked, partly out of concern for the safety of our own data and partly to “go first” in case anyone gets sketched out about using the tool. We feel thenextweb.com is trustworthy, but thought it might make you feel safe to get another little peek at the message the tool uses so you feel better about checking your password with it. Details below: And by the way – if you haven’t done it yet, change your LinkedIn password and do it now!

About the author: The subject matter that I am interested in is representational. I strive to be thorough and accurate and yet catch what is fleeting and lively. The work I'm most proud of shows life as I see it: fatally flawed, but amazingly beautiful. See Sarah's listing at the Southern Oregon Artists Resource to learn more and make contact.
Well, my new project is making this funky garage into a functional studio space. Believe it or not, I have already removed a lot of stuff and vacuumed spider webs off the walls.
