The Oratory & Recess Calgary Present: Exhibit of Social Artistry
Priscilla and Coach T. invite you to the Exhibit of Social Artistry in August, 2025! We are open to the public Thurs-Sat 11am-6pm and will have events all month long.
What is Social Artistry?
Social artistry practice describes art that is collaborative, often participatory and involves people as the medium or material of the work.
Social art is the application of arts and creativity towards the transformation of individuals, groups and societies by working with your target audience as opposed to for them.
A social artist is someone who is part artist, part social-change agent, part facilitator and part visionary. The social artist draws on artistic practice, group dynamics and creative ideas to facilitate change.
What a canvas is to a Painter, what a stage is for a Dancer or a lens to a Filmmaker, Community is to a Social Artist.
