Artists Against Po..

Artists Against Poverty envisions a world where extreme global poverty, can be fought by harnessing creative power locally. Since 2014, we have been building, testing and refining our "creative approach" for local meets global change. An approach that has seen us produce creative art exhibitions, activations, installations, workshops, fundraising campaigns, educational sessions, large-scale ticketed functions, private and bespoke business events, and many other platforms and spaces, in collaboration with our local emerging artist community and local businesses. All with the end goal of raising funds and awareness to empower the change-making women in our neighbouring Asia-pacific countries to the lift their families out of extreme poverty, by providing microfinance funding in collaboration with our local artist community. Our "creative approach" is unique in that it gives us a powerful ability to: 1. Fight extreme global poverty 2. Provide a platform for local emerging artists, and 3. Empower young change-makers In a real, impactful and fun way. We are currently on a mission to take our creative approach and apply it online, so that we can create a fully-fledged Australia wide hub and network of real creative change. This is a crucial step to not only continuing to raise funds to see out our vision, but also to step up in the ways that we support and provide a platform for local emerging artists, and in the ways that we empower young change-makers to get involved, and create change, wherever they may be located.
