I was impressed that so many posts during the Blog Salon have tackled the challenge of assessing the impact of public art—a particularly challenging area for building indicators of impact. Several years ago I heard Richard Florida describe public art in terms of community image when making a point about vital cities, i.e. those that […] May 4th, 2012 | Tags: Americans for the Arts, animating democracy, Art Advocacy, art news, ARTS USA, ARTSblog, cities, community and the arts, evaluation, international, investment, May 2012 Blog Salon, national, news, Public Funding, social impact | Category: Americans for the Arts, Art From the Heart, Art Matters..., Art Matters...to Everyone!, Art World News, Arts Advocacy, ARTS USA: ARTSblog, Public Art, Resources, The Business of Art, to Artists | Comments are closed By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1971 contributed posts View all Southern Oregon Artists Resource's posts.

The power of art to bring people together, remind us of our past and propel us into our future is something that has existed for millennia. It is neither a blip on the radar screen nor is it the dawning of a new age. Instead, it is merely a reminder to go back to our future.[…] December 2nd, 2011 | Tags: "creative placemaking", American Indian, Americans for the Arts, animating democracy, Art, Art Advocacy, art news, arts and social change, arts and social services, arts and society, ARTS USA, ARTSblog, community and the arts, cultural diversity, Dance, history, international, multiculturalism, national, Native american, news, November 2011 Blog Salon, placemaking, social benefit, social exchange, social impact, social transformation, socially conscious art | Category: Americans for the Arts, Art From the Heart, Art Matters..., Art Matters...to Everyone!, Art World News, Arts Advocacy, ARTS USA: ARTSblog, Resources, The Business of Art, Theater, to Artists | Comments are closed By Rogue Gallery & Art Center, 125 contributed posts View all Rogue Gallery & Art Center's posts.

One of the greatest challenges of creating work at the intersection of art and social justice is finding the resources — read funding — to produce it. The reality seems to be that art funders don’t seem to have much interest in this type of work and social justice funders are looking for measureable impacts […] Continue reading WTF?

For me, great art works challenge a viewer’s initial perspective and enables her or him to look at something in a different way, aesthetically, culturally, possibly politically. That may be enough.

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.

The Center for Artistic Activism fills this important need. Visit CAA's website HERE.
