SOS Art 2026 (Pearlman, McClure and Chidlaw Galleries) June 19 - July 12
SOS ART recognizes the power of art to inspire dialogue, challenge perspectives, and create meaningful change. Believing that artists play a vital role in shaping a more just and compassionate society, SOS ART encourages creative practices that move beyond commercial and consumer-driven frameworks to engage with the issues that matter most to individuals, communities, and the world.
Through artistic practice, education, and public advocacy, SOS ART is building a community of artists, educators, and advocates committed to advancing peace and justice at the local, regional, and global levels. The organization supports creative expression as a tool for fostering understanding, encouraging civic engagement, and promoting positive social transformation.
A core mission of SOS ART is to nurture values of peace, justice, compassion, tolerance, and love from an early age. By introducing communities and children to these ideals through art education and hands-on creative experiences, SOS ART seeks to empower future generations to imagine and build a more equitable and peaceful world.
