Global Community-Led by Artists and Students
We're a UK-based creative community with artists from around the world coming together to raise awareness of social and humanitarian issues through socially engaged art and music.
Our community welcomes all art forms.
Our Values
World Citizen Artists Members agree to abide by the principles below and report any breach of them to help protect the reputation and work of World Citizen Artists and our community.
ENGAGE
Assist and promote social and humanitarian issues.
RESPECT
Treat each other with respect, decency, and honesty.
THINK WORLD
World Citizen Artists refute violence, racism, nationalism, ethnic or national discrimination or aggrandizement, religious proselytizing, gender discrimination, and any form of intolerance. We, therefore, engage in trans-national discussions that do not single out specific nations, religions, or cultures.
GIVE
Engage with WCA for the community and public interest.
SHARE
World Citizen Artists engage in solidarity, not self-promotion inside WCA.
In order to work effectively on our mission and to make a social impact as a priority, we reserve the right to exclude anyone from our community, publications, awards, and events who we believe infringe our values or degrades the spirit of the community either directly or by association. The decision to exclude is solely at the discretion of World Citizen Artists.
Our Campaigns
World Citizen Artists offers a series of social events, podcasts, livestream concerts, and articles to raise awareness about meaningful and impactful arts projects. Our campaigns include:
Climate Change - Peace - Human Rights - Poverty - Mental Health - Education
Our Activities
We regularly host virtual events and podcasts that incorporate socially engaged art and education to inspire the artist community.
We also occasionally collaborate with existing events.
We feature socially engaged artists on Artist Voices. We only select artists who address social or humanitarian issues and are in line with our values.
We organize quarterly networking events where artists and art lovers can connect with social issue advocates and find potential collaborations.
We join forces for good by bringing Artists, and nonprofits together to learn from each other and build strong partnerships.
We've held visual art and music competitions to raise awareness of social and humanitarian issues in the art world and among the general public.
