It’s award season everybody! Movies have the Oscars. Music has the Grammies. Theater has the Tonys. But there’s something missing. Where are the awards for the most important art form, artistic activism?

So we at the Center for Artistic Activism – created the first ever…

Artistic Activism Awards!!!

We don’t have big (ahem, any) prize money, or fancy statues… yet. But that won’t stop us from having some fun and recognizing the great work people are doing.

Winners will receive honor, fame, glory, and eternal admiration and maybe a surprise!
