In 2014, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation announced the creation of the Artist as Activist program, which provides game-changing resources to artists, designers, and other creative professionals addressing important global challenges through their creative practice.
As part of a week-long gathering of its inaugural cohort of Artist as Activist Fellows, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation brought the group to The 8th Floor to meet with thought leaders from across the country. Together they explored the intersections of art and activism, the resources available for this kind of work, and the best ways to maximize the opportunity each fellow’s project provides for substantive, positive change.
