Community-Engaged Art

Community-engaged art is a collaborative creative process where artists work directly with local residents or groups to develop projects that reflect community interests, issues, or stories. It emphasizes participation and dialogue, fostering a sense of shared ownership and empowerment. Rather than creating art solely for display, these projects often aim to address social, cultural, or environmental topics, making art relevant and meaningful within its community. The goal is to build connections, raise awareness, and inspire collective action, transforming neighborhoods and perspectives through active community involvement.
