Artists Striving to End Poverty | What can we do with art? 
​

A discussion on the role of the artist in society and the many perceptions of poverty. We will unpack how to use your talent to affect change in the world and the role of art in empowering the impoverished. How do we become more active members of our communities? What can we do with our art? 

Presented by

ASTEP

ASTEP was conceived by Broadway Musical Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Juilliard students to transform the lives of youth using the most powerful tool they had: their art. Today, ASTEP connects performing and visual artists with youth from underserved communities in the U.S. and around the world to awaken their imaginations, foster critical thinking, and help them break the cycle of poverty.​
