May 3, 2015 xxxxxxxx How Art Shapes Culture
Art in the context of the social justice movements in the twentieth century have challenged and shaped American society in many ways. According to the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropiie. (n.d.), [“The Culture for Change Project (CfC), now an initiative by The Boston Foundation, was launched in 2007 by the Barr Foundation in partnership with Health Resources in Action (formerly The Medical Foundation). The program supports ongoing collaborations among artists, youth workers and young people, using the arts to build leadership and self-esteem among children and teens of all races and ethnicities and engage them in addressing social change.
CfC emerged as a response to the desire of Out-of-School Time (OST) staff members to enhance their programming with more creative and effective tools. The Barr Foundation supported a year-long research effort involving OST staff, youth workers, local artists and young people” (Culture for Change)]. In my opinion art has shaped many movements throughout American society. Art has caused many adults to get involved in helping children and teenagers learn all kinds of different aspects of arts. For example children and teenagers are learning to paint, how to interpret the different meanings of paintings and photographs, and they are learning different performing arts. This helps to give the children and teenagers a brighter future, helps to keep them off of the streets, and out of trouble.
