What people who work with us say

The Center for Artistic Activism empowers people by equipping them with the tools, strategies, and community they need to amplify their impact. Our ideas and methodology help advocates and activists achieve campaign aims because we provide both practical tools and creative methods to establish ambitious goals, connect with audiences, and come up with and refine innovative and effective tactics.

Here’s what some of our alumni have shared about our impact:

“I was always struggling to make our activism creative, and the training helped a lot because it gave us a methodology. The most valuable aspect is that we always forget the part of engaging audiences in our actions, so that’s helped a lot in every plan of action we have made since then.”

– Migen Qiraxhi, Civil Society Advocate, Albania

“C4AA matches their high-level expertise in artistry and actions with humor and joy, as well as deep care for each of us as creators. Every training session was designed and infused with their brilliance, so each was simultaneously dynamic and thoughtful, supportive yet provocative, and brimming with encouragement while challenging us to create our best work.”

– Lisa Jo Epstein, Founder and Director, Just Act

“C4AA showed me that creativity isn’t just about going with the flow – it’s about a process.”

– Jeanine Abrams McLean, President of Fair Count, USA
