The
ART FOR
A CHANGE website
is dedicated to the arts and their
role in transforming society,
from my own socially conscious
artworks to the works of other
like minded artists possessing
a critical vision. This site encourages
and promotes the creation of artworks
that envision a just, peaceful
world. My AFC Web site
exists primarily as a gallery,
educational forum, and resource
center, but it should also be
thought of as a platform for arts
advocacy. The belief that art
can make a difference in our world
and that there can be no social
progress without it, is the motivating
force behind this website. If
you'd like to be placed on my
mailing list for future site updates,
then please e-mail me at:
