Animating Democracy: Strengthening the Role of Art
From 1999 to 2003, Americans for Arts’ Animating Democracy Lab provided grants and advisory support to 32 cultural organizations across the country to implement projects that experimented with or deepened existing approaches to arts- and humanities-based civic dialogue. Investigation through these diverse projects, individually and collectively, aimed to advance field learning about the philosophical, practical, and social dimensions of this work. Learn about the initiative and the lab projects.
