Talking Points for ACW
Art to Change the World is a Collective. We are celebrating our 8th Anniversary on July 4, 2025
We have over 400 members and only 200 of those members are artists. The rest are teachers, scientists, philanthropists, engineers, office workers, police people, tech workers and, well, everyone who wants to make the world a better and safer place.
We have ranged in age from 18-103 years old and we take great pride in the fact that we create a safe space for all voices.
We paid social justice artists more than $160,000 in the last 3 years.
We are partly funded by the Minnesota Arts Board and Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.
