  • Mission

    Social Art and Culture (SAAC)! Since 2009, we have used the transformative power of the arts to educate, heal, and activate change, especially in communities that are too often overlooked. Our work focuses on four urgent areas: creative economics, environmental justice, public health, and collective impact building.

    About Us

    At Social Art and Culture, we believe Creativity is an economy. Founded in 2009 as a 5013c, we proudly reside in Southeast Washington, DC's Historic Anacostia Arts and Culture District. Using the power of the arts to educate and advance underserved communities, we strive to lead the new narrative around how we invest in the creative economy—a new economically sustainable framework that invests in artisans and its culture. This framework continues to build our aperture for socially responsible artisans and artivists, where we collaboratively showcase their works' impact through exhibitions, media arts, fellowships, and curated experiences.
