Support Our Work
We launched in Chicago 20 years ago as a human rights arts advocacy organization and have made strides in establishing a significant global footprint. Using art to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers, AWP has inspired audiences on five continents to act to end grave human rights abuses. While proud of our impact, we have more work to do.
