How Art Inspires Change

Does art have the power to change the world? In a time of unprecedented challenges, it can be easy to dismiss art as unnecessary. But what would the world really look like without the arts? Throughout history, music, writing, visual art and dance have proven their ability to ignite positive change time and time again. The arts help us make sense of our lives. They help us learn, reflect and grow. Art helps us heal. And it has the power to make the world a better place. In Volume #5 of Compassiviste's anthology How to Save the World, writers, musicians and visual artists from around the globe share their reflections on the immense power of their artform, and its ability to inspire positive change. All proceeds from the sale of this book fund Compassiviste Foundation's work to create a more equitable and sustainable future. So join Compassiviste for a deep dive into the power of the arts—while doing your part to help build a more harmonious world.
