A forum for creative and political thinking, a stage for emerging art, and a platform for social change, The Arts Politic provides a space that is intelligent, that is visionary, that is thoughtful, that will TAP new ideas from the frontlines to get things done.

OUR ROOTS.

The purpose of this magazine is to unearth a dialogue among artists, activists and policymakers along the pendulum of global civic responsibility. Conceived at the ground-breaking Arts Politics graduate program at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, The Arts Politic was developed by alumna, Danielle Kline and Jasmine Mahmoud, members of the inaugural class. Simply put, our intellectual home is based at the intersection of arts and politics and we thrive when we continue to explore this interdisciplinary line. Our challenging, beloved, and bold Arts Politics “curriculum [taught us how to] examine, in an activist key, the relation between art and society and the role of the artist in civic life.” So that is why we are here. We are in the business of asking good questions. TAP your ideas and come along!
