About this Site
The Motive Art web site promotes art that has a social conscience.
It is not a style, but a belief. A belief that artists can play a much bigger
role in helping to make the world a better place. Motive is about how art can
make a difference in our world. Artists don't just make a statement through
their work, they make an active commitment to change by donating their time
and their work to charitiy. Want to know more about it?
There is a thread on
our forum that talks in more detail about Motive Art and what it is all about,
you can find it here
How
can you help?
Start with Art!
You can get involved by finding a social issue that is close to your heart, then
the question that you would need to ask your self is how can my art address
this issue? Or if you are not an artist perhaps you know artists that you can
ask to become involved.
MotiveArt would like to be a part of raising awareness of the issue as well as
the art.
We invite you to create your own idea and then go to our Forum and see if we
can get together to help one another.
But you don't have to be an artist, you
just have to care.
It's art for life's sake.
