GRAND RAPIDS, MI: The “Art of Democracy” is an exhibition of multiple social justice-themed paintings, prints, collages and 3D sculptures on display now through Wednesday, Oct. 15, at Fountain Street Church at 24 Fountain St. NW. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

Have I mentioned how much I ❤️the #artactivism sculpture campaign that satirizes Trump? The US Parks Police purposefully BROKE this Trump-Epstein friendship memorial while removing it w/o giving due notice or explaining how it violated its permit. I hope the artists sue for destruction of property!

"Protest art now lives in flashes: a mural after George Floyd’s murder, a projection on a courthouse wall, a slogan painted on cardboard that may never reach beyond 1 march. The voices that once roared through galleries, city streets & public squares are now scattered." www.fcnp.com/2025/09/26/a...

On Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, come to "Craftivism" to learn new ways and new ideas to make a difference in the world, one tiny piece at a time, one small act of craftivism at a time. Tickets: ninefoldfestival.com #craftivism #creativism #crafts #artisans #guardians #affordable #resistance #activism

We have in person events coming up! More details soon. #craftivism #nonprofit #detroit

Using a blend of art and advocacy, "Our Present, Icarus’ Future" combines an art installation with the "We Are Icarus" art contest and the Icarus Petition. The CLEO Institute seeks hundreds of thousands of supporters to demand climate action now. cleoinstitute.org/our-present-...

May the Force be with the #Craftivists and #ArtActivists who are fighting to prevent the #FascistTakeover of our nation by the #TrumpRegime.

Eat the rich! Or just tax them a fair amount. A meaningful conversation? You'll have given your opinion before the food is on the table! Grab your hook and some yarn and gooooo. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #craftivism #eattherich #crochetpattern #ravelry #crochetsky

This ‘quilt’ turned out to be a crochet project, not fabric, but it’s still a great bit of craftivism out of #ireland by the Grannies for #gaza https://www.newry.ie/articles/news/newry-visit-for-grannies-for-gaza-quilt #quiltingnews #crochet #craftivism

I made a subversive little jellyfish cat toy for Stanley, I think he'll like it! #handembroidery #craftivism

When you step into arts activism, it can feel risky to speak out on issues you care about. You don’t have to go it alone. Here's my latest Substack on four principles that can help, with real examples of artists who've found strength by taking action together. abbetuck.substack.com/p/united-by-...

Arts organizations are not going to be able to withstand the Trump administration. It is up to individual artists (of all disciplines) to resist. Join Abbetuck (it's free). We're advocates for arts activism. abbetuck.com/subscribe/

Draw some inspiration from this week's life-affirming post about care-full crochet! My newest essay focuses on the helpers and the makers. I think you'll like it, and I hope you'll share it with people who could use some handcrafted healing right now. finding-throughlines.ghost.io/handcrafted/

Visibility matters!

Creativity isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Spend a minute with my latest Abbetuck POV Blog post and come away with inspiration for your own arts activism. abbetuck.com/how-creativi...

"There is so much grief, and it is important to feel, but we must have ways to digest that grief, move it through our bodies, and have it inspire us to action. For this, we need other people. For this, we need art." yellowscene.com/2025/08/01/a...

I wrote up a protocol for running art + activism events like Climate Change Crafting Night. We need more community, & we need people feeling empowered to take action and not just curl up in a despondent ball. Help them find the energy with art & community! Protocol: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

#Craftivism is a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through #creativity makes your voice stronger, your #compassion deeper and your quest for #justice more infinite — @craftivista.bsky.social This week’s newsletter explores the #transformative power of #art & #craft > conta.cc/4fbMcOf

I painted some rocks to leave around town. Such a great way to scratch the creativity itch and engage in some good trouble. #Craftivism #Artivism #CreativePraxis

BOOKMARK OF THE DAY (Front and back) July 28, 2025 Speaking up and staying silent are both political acts. The former recognizes the need to change what blocks humane progress, while the latter embraces the forces blocking it. Use #ArtsActivism & #Craftivism to #ImagineChange. #MakeGoodTrouble

Through documentary and theatre work, American actor, playwright and professor Anna Deavere Smith gives voice to diverse communities, sparking dialogue about race, identity and social change. This is #artsactivism. abbetuck.com

You've got to hand it to Matt and Trey. This week, they activated *their* art—the animated "Southpark" television series—jolting news cycles and stimulating public discourse as the result. Relax! This is #artsactivism.

Can you guess what I'm making? Pattern will come. All in crip time: slooooow, but enjoying every bit of the process! #Ravelry #craftivism #crochet #ravelrydesigner #criptime #longcovid #chronicallycreative

BOOKMARK OF THE DAY (Front and back) July 18, 2025 If Donald Trump can draw pictures to communicate a vision of what he loves, a skyline with buildings to claim as his own, we can use #ArtsActivism to help others imagine & create a better vision of America. #BeTheChange #MakeGoodTrouble #Craftivism
