What is the Art of Change?

The Art of Change is an inaugural event created by and for the nation's art communities. We intend to create a unique celebration to mark the beginning of President-elect Barack Obama's administration and the positive changes we believe it will bring to our nation.

To create this event, volunteers have come together from all over Washington, DC's creative communities to collaborate in an event that will meld together art, music, and performance to show the District of Columbia the most original and creative inaugural event ever held.

Change is coming to the world and we intend to be on the front lines to participate in it.

Who we are

The Art of Change planning committee is an all-volunteer group of movers and shakers from the Washington, DC creative community. All planning committee members are affiliated with one or more of our sponsor or partner organizations and have put in countless hours of personal time creating this event.

Individually we are:

• Artists devoted to exploring the world of human aesthetic to bring us closer to a greater understanding of the world around us, our fellow human beings, and the deepest recesses of the psyche
• Performers adept at coaxing the highest elation and depths of despair from our audiences with the power of word, body, sound, and movement
• Event planners tried and tested in our talents for bringing together group energies and art to move beyond the intentions of individuals to a powerful new collective potential
• A collaborative powerhouse of creative energy devoted to expressing our hopes for the future of America and the entire world in the wake of the most important presidential election in any of our lifetimes through our own unique celebration
