Vision

We envision a world where art takes up an expanded role in society and is a catalyst for social change. More Art’s role as a platform and space for dialogue, awareness raising, and community engagement is more important than ever. We dedicate ourselves to producing artworks that address topics that fall under the umbrellas of economic equity, civil rights, and environmental justice. We do this on a local and human scale, focusing on how these issues affect the lives of New Yorkers. Through our work, we aim to build a more equitable and caring community that is connected to one another. We envision a world where communities commonly interact with public art and view it as a mechanism for learning about the social issues that are most pressing within their communities. This experience will foster connection and motivate collective action to build a future together that is more empathetic and free.
