Read more here. We’ve enjoyed looking back on last year’s successes as we prepare for upcoming workshops with a new class of artistic activists.  Check out some of the testimonials from last year’s participants. “This was an incredibly inspiring weekend for me. [It pulled] together long disparate threads of creativity and justice action into a kind of “a ha” moment. Seeing the history and theory of this kind of work opened up a Pandora’s Box inside my brain. I pledge never to be bored with activism again.” [...] [...] The School of Creative Activism is a participatory workshop infusing community organizing and civic engagement with culture and creativity.  The School was founded by the Center for Artistic Activism in 2010 and held two successful workshops for activists in the New York area and North Carolina.  In recognition of the workshops’ successes, the Open Society Foundations nearly doubled their funding from 2010 to support continued curricular development and organizer training in SCA workshops over the 2011-2012 year.  Upcoming workshops will be held throughout the U.S.  Locations and calls for participants will be announced in the coming months.
