  Art Works for Change (AWFC) harnesses the transformative power of art to promote awareness, provoke dialogue and inspire action. We seek to address issues of serious concern—human rights, social justice, gender equity, environmental stewardship and sustainability— in creative, inspiring and ultimately positive ways, by engaging with audiences on multiple levels: emotionally, intellectually and through their senses. AWFC partners with local organizations in each community where our exhibitions are shown to create related programming that leverages the artwork to foster dialogue and build awareness of the issues they address. In this way, our exhibitions serve as a crucible where artists, museums, advocacy organizations, and local community may unite as a collective force for change. Show less
