Artist As Changemaker Alumni
About the AAC Project
A partnership between The Institute for Community Prosperity and Calgary Arts Development, the Artist as Changemaker (AAC) project started in 2018 as an initiative to expedite the capacity of socially engaged artists to create meaningful social change.
Over the past eight years, a cohort of local artists have developed a residency program to employ their artistic mindset and systems-change knowledge to discover unique and creative ways to address complex social challenges.
