The Art of Change

Start Time: 
11:00 am, Sat (Aug 29)
One of the hot topics in deconstructing the juggernaut of Obama’s election campaign was the critical role of arts in presenting the candidate’s image and generating an emotionally engaged base of supporters. What have we learned about art and advocacy that we can apply to social change efforts on a myriad of critical issues? In this session, we’ll share strategies for connecting purposeful art to strategic campaigns.
