Social Art Collective

Everyday at lunch, we have the Social Art Collective. The main premise is to express our social voice collectively through art. Our goal is to blend the ideas of service with the methods of art. Every art project includes a service project mixed with it. For example, we work on a Paper Border Project while also doing a supply drive for immigrant groups.

Our Purpose:
Art with advocacy, awareness and action

Characteristics:
  • Use as many renewable and recycled resources (dang, we're really into alliteration today!) This means we are creating the Paper Border with all previously used paper products. We are creating collages with old magazine pictures.
  • Anyone can participate and no single individual can take sole credit. At the same time, individuals can put their own individual flavor in each project.
  • Every work must have a social-centered viewpoint. In other words, the art is not for sheer aesthetics, but rather it exists for the purpose of advocacy, action and awareness
