About

With the right support, creative artists can use their talent and energy to address important social and civic goals. Music and the arts are an effective means of reaching disadvantaged youth, people with disabilities, the elderly, war veterans and many other populations in need, particularly when traditional interventions fail.

We support federal funding to create an Artists Corps that will train and support a national corps of citizen-artists to share their gifts through 1-2 years of arts-driven service in:

1. Disadvantaged schools and communities for more successful students and youth;
2. Health care and therapeutic settings for recovery and improved functioning;
3. The public domain for increased civic engagement, volunteerism, diplomacy and peace.

Let's create an Artist Corps! Please add your name, and web logo button, to the ImaginArtists Alliance.

The ImaginArtists Alliance is a network of organizations and leaders who have come together to support the creation of a national Artist Corps.
