Often looked to as the consciences of humanity, artists have a unique ability to create powerful and innovative social change. Whether through music, visual art, performance, or poetry, artists speak with integrity and the world listens.

About the Artists In Action Event Series

The Artists In Action Event Series was created to provide a medium for artists to raise awareness for critical social and environmental issues and fund raise for community-led solutions.

Beginning in 2001 with EW's first benefit, Art for AIDS Relief, artists in Santa Barbara, CA united with artists in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa to launch EW's Orphan Care program, now serving over 250 children. Over the years, empowered artists across the globe have joined forces in a wide array of creative events benefiting EW including theatrical productions, exclusive soirees, world music concerts and DJ club nights. Increasingly, friends of EW (producers & performers) apply their creative visions, to engage their unique communities in positive social action.

Keith Biele - Art for AIDS Relief

In 2007, social change driven fine artist, Keith Biele became EW's first Artist In Action abroad. While in Zimbabwe he provided skills building workshops for T&J designs (improving product quality) and essential art therapy to children at Julia's Home and to over 100 children in three rural areas when EW made field visits. In addition to helping orphaned children and communities to fight AIDS, Keith took this opportunity to inspire good will and global understanding in under served youth in the USA. He brought 100 paintings from children at Ocean City Elementary School in Florida - where 80% of the students are dealing with poverty - to orphaned children in Zimbabwe as a symbol of friendship and solidarity.
