ABOUT US

OUR STORY: THERE IS NO “THEM”, JUST “US

The name “ARTivistUS” unites the artist with the activist … and with all of us. Each of us cares about our family members, our friends, our nation and our world. Filmmaker Ken Burns said it simply: ‘The thing that I’ve learned is that there is no “them.” It’s just us.’ Artists speak to our heart and there are always audiences for art that reflects desired improvements in the human condition.

The “artivist’s” challenge is eternal: “How do I connect with ‘us’”? ARTivistUS has stepped forward to make those connections. The modus operandi of ARTivistUS is to harness the transformative power of art to promote awareness, provoke dialogue and, ultimately, catalyze meaningful social and structural change within American society and worldwide.

Social justice and environmental concerns are eternal, but in today’s society the creators of relevant art are not as visible as “popular” creators and they are usually under appreciated. Himself a songwriter and political activist, Christopher R. Owens founded ARTivistUS to empower the many super-talented individuals he has met — and will meet — whose work deserves more attention at the local, national and international levels. All creators need resources to live and pursue their creativity, and ARTivistUS will enable these special folks to continue that pursuit regardless of class, age, gender identification, race, ethnicity, or any other demographic factor.
