With the support of the California Arts Council, Amplifier will commission artists Mer Young and Jazmine Williams to engage state residents to explore the effects of COVID-19 as they pertain to bolstering mental health and socio-emotional wellbeing in BIPOC communities.
Together with our social change partners in both the for profit and nonprofit worlds, we build media campaigns that shift culture and change the national narrative. We do that by drawing from our diverse portfolio of artists to commission powerful visual storytelling, then distribute it in
unparalleled numbers through a creative use of media, reaching huge audiences and driving real change.
Our distribution channels reach millions of viewers per campaign, reaching activists, teachers, policy makers, journalists, and everyday citizens eager to build a new world. Our own independent teacher network includes teachers of 1 million+ K-12 students, and we reach another 5 million+ additional teachers globally through our partnerships with Discovery Education and Flip Grid.
We believe that each piece of art we create and distribute with our partners can be a compass that leads us away from the chaos and negativity of this polarizing time. Since our founding in 2015, we’ve commissioned more than 800 artists, distributed tens of millions of artworks, and
sent free art to millions of students across the United States.
