For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that centers art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse and direct action.
Founded in 2016 by a coalition of artists including Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Michelle Woo, and Wyatt Gallery, For Freedoms is dedicated to fostering an environment of listening, healing, and justice through a wide range of creative engagement.
Since founding, For Freedoms has collaborated with over 1,000 artists on over 750 activations, including public art installations, billboard campaigns, exhibitions, town halls, and events across all 50 states.
For Freedoms works closely with a variety of artists, organizations, institutions and brands to expand what participation in a democracy looks like and reshape conversations about politics.
Where Do We Go From Here?
With the aim to infuse an anti-partisan, arts-based perspective into the political landscape, For Freedoms has collaborated with thousands of artists, activists, and scholars to create 550+ evocative billboards that use art as a vehicle to deepen public discussions on civic issues and core values and transform public commercial space into exhibition space – a creative collaboration of epic proportion.
If creativity is a core societal value, and if artists are at every table, new ideas are more likely to take hold.
