The ArtsVote
Open Call
Democracy is a
Creative Process.
Over the past month, we asked creators across the country to visualize the inextricable link between the arts and our democracy. The response was overwhelming.
Thank you to every single artist who submitted their work and lent their voice to this movement. We are thrilled to announce our winner and four finalists, whose designs will be distributed in priority markets nationwide to mobilize voters ahead of the election.

What Is ArtsVote?
ArtsVote is a year-round, nonpartisan movement to get people registered and voting for the arts. Creative expression is powerful, but voting is how we protect it. Our goal is simple: mobilize everyone who values the impact of the arts to show up at the ballot box.
