About the Artist Network

At NextGen America, we know the youth vote has the power to create change. We also see art as a meaningful tool to create community and empower activists to turn their creativity into action around important issues. Through our Artist Network, we are empowering the next generation of artists and designers through dynamic collaborations and development opportunities. The Artist Networks aims to empower up-and-coming creatives as we amplify our artist’ voices to create positive social change and build their leadership potential.

What Artists Receive?

  • One-on-one mentorship and coaching from NextGen America’s Design Manager, a nationally recognized social impact artist.
