Our Mission
World Citizen Artists’ is a global movement of socially engaged artists, creatives and thinkers whose aim is to create effective and evolutionary change in the World through events, exchanges and other opportunities involving the use of art to raise global awareness.
Our Values
World Citizen Artists 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. We reserve the right to exclude from our community, awards and events anyone we feel breaches our values or breaks its spirit either directly or through association. Decisions on exclusion rest entirely at the discretion of World Citizen Artists.
-
ENGAGE: Assist and promote WCA's Aim and Mission.
-
RESPECT: World Citizen Artists treat each other with respect, decency, and honesty.
-
THINK WORLD: World Citizen Artists refute violence, racism, nationalism, ethnic or national discrimination or aggrandisement, religious proselytising, 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.
Our Aim
In the age of Covid-19, and the upcoming global economic crisis and climate change challenges, solidarity and encouraging messages are needed more than ever.
Art is a powerful medium for healing, story-telling, and sense-making, all of which are critical in building resilience among communities affected by global challenges.
World Citizen Artists is building the largest worldwide movement of socially engaged artists and creative mediums working to support charities and causes, and raise global awareness and responsibility through creativity, solidarity, and unity.

Our Activities
-
Artists Voices: We regularly feature engaged artists on Artist Voices. We only select arts, music, and creativity to raise awareness on humanitarian issues. Selected artists are also featured on our social media channels.
-
Artists' Meetings: we regularly organise networking events where artists can exchange and discuss collaboration opportunities.
-
Connect: Many active non-profit organisations are often overloaded and they don’t always have the time to include Artists who would support their activities and make their audience aware of their great work. By connecting non-profit organisations with artists, we facilitate their work and help them to have a greater impact on potential donors.
-
Awards and Competitions: We regularly select Awardees whom we have either noticed or have been recommended to us by our audience. These Awardees are artists, musicians, and creatives who have already made a real humanitarian difference in the World through their work. We also occasionally run competitions.
