US Department of Arts and Culture

The USDAC is the U. S. Department of Arts and Culture, a grassroots action network that aims to cultivate a culture of empathy, equity, and belonging.

As a society, we often neglect to prioritize programs and policies that foster creativity, empathy, and collaboration. The USDAC seeks to rewrite these narratives and affirm the value of culture for every individual and community. They engage everyone in weaving social fabric and strengthening communities through arts and culture.

By connecting socially-engaged artists and cultural organizers and generating public will for creative policies and programs, they infuse social justice organizing with creativity and imagination. Art and culture have the power to build empathy, create a sense of belonging, and activate civic agency for real change. The USDAC offers pathways of engagement for individuals and organizations eager to deepen their commitment to creativity and social change.
