These artists would probably not consider themselves creativity activists,but I have this page for inspiration. Artists, do their thing, and it just so happens to help, In my opinion.

I met Dee at a Storytelling Retreat in Oaxaca in March of 2019. She had interesting stories to share and I was most impressed with how she blended her love of painting with her desire to use art to help others. She administers a program, Painting Syria's Children, in which artists use photographs of Syrian refugee children and paint their portraits. The portraits are then offered for donations which go to charity organizations that work with the refugees.

    I have heroes in this field that I call Creativity Activism. They donʻt call it that, they just do their thing, be it art, writing, music. There are SOOO many and the task is huge, but I will start with people I have personally met. My intention is to shine a spotlight on them to serve as examples for ME (and hopefully for you) of who  I want to be as an artist. Itʻs not just about skill, but about their skill AND vision (though they may not see it that way.)
