Mission Statement
At Social Art and Culture, we believe Creativity is an economy. Founded in 2009 as a 5013c, we proudly reside in Southeast Washington, DC's Historic Anacostia Arts and Culture District. Using the power of the arts to educate and advance underserved communities, we strive to lead the new narrative around how we invest in the creative economy--a new economically sustainable framework that invests in artisans and its culture. This framework continues to build our aperture for socially responsible artisans and artivists, where we collaboratively showcase their works' impact through exhibitions, media arts, fellowships, and curated experiences.
Description
Social Art and Culture’s mission centers on the arts as a sustainable, viable, and vital component of the creative and general economies. We believe in using the power of the arts to educate and advance marginalized and underserved communities-a new economically sustainable framework that invests in artisans and its culture. Social Art and Culture was founded in 2009 as a collective impact organization. Sustained, collective impact provides an approach to tackling these problems that allows for systemic changes and population-level outcomes through advocacy, outreach, and mobilization.
