*ACW’s Social Justice Mission. Just to clarify, most of our $$ is coming from granting organizations and private donors who are giving us money because we are doing social justice work. Generally, all calls will be asking for work with a social justice context. We are legally and ethically bound to this fact. Sometimes, for example, the ADP project where artists earned $12,000.00, that was not a requirement because the Huxley group funded that project. All art should have a deconstruction statement of the artwork. The general public is often not sophisticated enough to get your message…we need to educate them! See how to write a social justice artist statement. https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/how-to-create-a-social-justice-artwork-statement/
