ArtWorks for Freedom is an innovative non-profit organization that uses the power of art in all its forms in the fight against human trafficking and modern slavery. Our mission is to dignify the victims, re-frame how human trafficking is portrayed and perceived, and to inspire personal involvement and action by the public. Through our growing alliance of artist-activists we are bringing awareness campaigns to cities in the U.S. and around the world.
