20 Years of Bearing Witness

ART WORKS Projects has leveraged the power of photography and documentary film to raise awareness and educate the public about some of the most pervasive and grave human rights violations.

Since ART WORKS launched 20 years ago, we’ve supported dozens of projects documenting stories around the world.

Support Our Work

Since we launched as a human rights arts advocacy organization in Chicago 20 years ago, we have made strides in establishing a significant global footprint. Using art to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers, AWP has inspired audience members on five continents to support an end to grave human rights abuses. While we are proud of our impact, we know more essential works needs to be done.
