Founded in Colorado in January 2002, Art as Action is a grassroots movement of artists and activists whose mission is to use the power of collaborative art to create social change. Repeatedly, art has proven to be an extraordinary way to inspire and unite a community. Art as Action uses this to bring global awareness to local artists and audiences. Our performances are composed of original pieces connected by a common theme and created by a diverse group of artists. We are comprised of members of various art communities including dance, circus arts, music, film, poetry, visual art and aerial dance. Each artist is encouraged to collaborate and transcend the boundaries between art genres, thereby creating a collage of diverse artistic pieces representing an extensive range of talents, ideas and backgrounds. Art as Action provides the support and the structure that empowers artists to produce entertaining, powerful and socially relevant work of professional caliber.
