Los Angeles, CA + The National Call to Artists, a Web repository

Recognizing that so much of our national debate is conducted in imagery -- and that tremendous effort is expended to spin things toward the status quo -- the call is going out to artists to use our expressive powers and social imagination to focus public attention on whatever must be put right and whatever suggests how that may be accomplished. SPARC, the Social and Public Art Resource Center in Venice, California, has inaugurated the National Call to Artists, a Web repository for images, songs, scripts, and ideas. A key aim is to challenge and assist activists to make effective use of creative imagery, action, and imagination in mobilizing awareness and participation in social action. It's easy to download artwork to the site, and activists are free to make use of it. Please share this information today!
