Art for Social Change is a program that uses conceptual art to provide powerful experiences that inspire people to take personal action to create positive change for those facing barriers due to lack of accessibility, inclusion, and other oppressive systems and structures.

This year, seven (7) multidisciplinary artists throughout Canada have been invited to create installations related to the theme of Accessibility. Their artworks will be displayed in a final exhibition at Keyano College, opening on December 3 (International Persons with Disabilities Day) and closing on December 10 (International Human Rights Day) and with personalized tours scheduled daily.

Our vision is that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education and that all those who have more than they need, share with those who lack even the most basic things. $26.40 is all it costs for us to feed a child for a whole school year. That is only .13 cents a day. Currently, we are feeding over 2 million children a day across 20 countries. Our idea is a simple one that works. We provide one nutritious daily meal in a place of learning in order to attract chronically poor children into the classroom, where they receive an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty. Every child deserves an education and enough to eat.
