Welcome to BrushFire!
Friday, April 25th, 2008BrushFire is your indispensable guide to activist arts and culture heading up to US elections in November, 2008.
During this crucial moment in history, BrushFire will lead you to the best, most stimulating exhibitions, music, film, poetry, and activist happenings all over the country.
BrushFire will help you experience the power of the arts to deepen your awareness, understanding and enjoyment of deep social change– change that reflects your highest aspirations for peace, equity and sustainability.
In this same time period, Provisions is presenting a major series of public art interventions around the country designed to focus attention on key issues such as the Iraq war, immigration, global warming, civil liberties, housing and healthcare. This will culminate in an exhibition called Close Encounters: Reflections on the Future, at the American University Art Museum in September and October, 2008.
Thanks and enjoy!
BrushFire is organized by Provisions Learning Project, a research center for arts and social change in Washington, DC. BrushFire is supported by CrossCurrents Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation, The Community Foundation of Greater Washington, The Cafritz Foundation, The Nathan Cummings Foundation, The Humanities Council of Washington, DC and The Tides Foundation.
