Art and creativity are the heart and soul of social movements, but too often creativity is left to the artists alone and organizing to the activists. ArtShift is based on a belief that everyone has the capacity for creativity and that when ignited, that creativity is a force that can move the world and make change irresistible. 

Inspired by projects like BeautifulTrouble, Platform London, ArtShift Europe and others, ArtShift is a project to bring together artists, organizers and activists to build a "creative action laboratory" as a legacy project of regional PowerShifts. Phase 1 of ArtShift is focused on the intersection of creativity, art and action looking especially a the role of art within action for social and climate justice. We'll be kicking off ArtShift with a one day event on creative action theory and practice with a focus hands-on skill building to take forward from ArtShift.

ArtShift BC aims to bring together artists, activists, and everyone in between to cultivate collaboration and learning to build our power for creative action. 

Speaking of action, High School students across BC are taking action, organizing across the province to come together in their communities to say no to fracking and a drastic increase in carbon emissions. Sixteen Defend Our Future actions are set to happen in seven cities, click here to attend an event or host your own.
