Artists For... is an initiative that joins together likeminded artists of all genres for a specific cause that requires such amplification.
Have a mission you need our help to support? We'd love to hear about your cause!
In 2018, CreActiv hosted Louisiana Artists for Puerto Rico. This event was a coming together of artists who worked in tandem to create programming to benefit the island of Puerto Rico through its ongoing recovery from the lingering devastation of Hurricane Maria. In Sept. 2018, near the one year anniversary of the storm, we held our first event, in partnership with Baton Rouge Gallery. Featuring 26 performing and visual artists in a variety style showcase, we raised nearly $2000 (on a $0 budget) to benefit Americas for the Conservation and the Arts' PR Resilience Fund. The funds went to support El Departamento de la Comida's mission to restore 200 farms on the island in 24 months. Louisiana Artists for Puerto Rico was inspired and supported by the #PoetsForPuertoRico movement that was started in New York City by three Latine artists – Denice Frohman, Noel Quinones, and Willie Perdomo.
