Community-Based Art

Community-based art is a creative process that involves local communities in making art that reflects their experiences, culture, and issues. It aims to foster collaboration, inclusion, and social connection, often addressing specific community needs or stories. The artist works with community members rather than creating in isolation, resulting in artwork that is meaningful and accessible to those it represents. This approach transforms art from a solitary act into a shared experience, empowering communities and encouraging active participation in shaping their environment and identity.
