Bridging Communities through Socially Engaged Art cover

Promoting the expansion of art in society and education, this book highlights the significance of the arts as an instrument of social justice, inclusion, equity, and protection of the environment. Including twenty-seven diverse case studies of socially engaged art practice with groups like the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community, and Rikers Island, this book guides art educators toward innovative, transdisciplinary, and diverse methodologies. A valuable resource on creating spaces for change, it addresses the relationships between artists and educators, museums and communities.

"This anthology is a genuine collaboration that invites the reader to join in and consider how personal actions can bridge communities through socially engaged art and provoke inspiration for building new possibilities together."

-- Studies in Art Education

"The strength of the collection is the concrete descriptions of project methods, contexts and circumstances. Many chapters illuminate the critical and theoretical perspectives informing the works and projects, and all in all there is much food for thought and discussion in environments where art education, participatory art and socially engaged art are practiced and tried out."
