Artists in Community Action Network

We will roll out Artists CAN slowly over the next two years. Membership in the Artists in Community Action Network (Artists CAN) at its most basic level will be a way to communicate your commitment to using your art to fuel transformation in your community.

Student Artists in Community Action

Our dream is to have a Student Artists CAN chapter on every college and high school campus. College chapters will be student-led. High school chapters will be teacher-supported, student-led. Passionate and concerned students from all arts departments will join together to learn about Arts for Community Action and lead events in their community using ACI’s tools. Training will be provided for all who would like to start and lead a chapter on their campus.
