Art: financial aspects
In this social justice book with an artistic lens, Rev. Dr. Shelley D. Best challenges creatives to step up as changemakers and use their art as activism.

The arts have long been used as tools to attract and gather people together. They can heal divides, spark engagement, challenge the status quo, and foster positive change.

And the arts can be the catalyst for revolutionary change.

Creative Disruption is a compelling exploration of how art can be harnessed to show up for social justice, challenge institutional racism, and transform the art world into an inclusive, vibrant community.

With an innovative cutting edge framework on what a creative disruptor looks like, Rev. Dr. Shelley D. Best presents a call to arms for artists and art lovers alike to stand up, speak out, and use their talents to create a more equitable world. She challenges artists to use their creativity to challenge the status quo and to make a difference.

In this DEI book for creatives, discover:

tactics for those in nonprofit art leadership roles. inspiration to push beyond the boundaries of what's been done before. how creative minds are addressing and solving complex issues within the art world. strategies for bringing diversity, equity, and inclusion into the art world, welcoming diverse voices and ensuring that art is for everyone. how to embrace the role of a creative disruptor in your own life and work.

Creative Disruption is not just a book-it's a movement. Whether you're in nonprofit leadership, an established artist interested in incorporating activism into the business of art, or simply someone passionate about social change, this book offers inspiration and advice for using art to make a difference.

Stevie Wonder, Frida Kahlo, Prince, Lulu Wang, and Audre Lorde are all creative disruptors. Black Lives Matter murals, which have cropped up in all corners of the United States, are creative disruptions. The Million Man March was a creative disruption.

The stage is set, the canvas awaits, and the spotlight beckons. Accept the call to show up and stand out for the cause of creative disruption for arts' sake.
