Provisions Library - The Arts of Social Change

To visit: call 202-670-7768 Email us: [email protected] Website and Blog: www.provisionslibrary.com/ Provisions is a platform for creating a more inclusive, resourceful, and connected society through art and culture. We research, produce, and amplify art and creative practices that question, expand and reflect upon the premise of society–its expressions and its aspirations. We chart pa

st and future avenues for art as engagement, empowerment, and connection through works that tell stories, investigate ideas, and explore the poetics and affective experience of cultural inclusion. We work to integrate artists and creative futures into institutions, organizations, and the public sphere (government, education, and museums). We amplify the relevance of creative practice to the broader arenas of community and cultural development through the creation of interactions between artists and publics that generate learning and exchange. We open our resources, information, and projects to people for use, adaption, critique, transformation, and development. We examine themes including our meridians, the future of the book, library, the possibilities and fields for art, social attitudes, and creative public policy.
