A Mic Stand For Darfur

On April, 19th 2007 Art as an Agent for Change held its very own Mic Stand. The show was a fundraiser for UNICEF's emergency relief efforts in Darfur. A. Mic Stand is an event where various artists, persons, etc. take a stand for or against a particular issue. A.A.C. chose this occassion to take a stand against the injustice that is occurring in Sudan. We hope that our efforts make a difference and that we inspire others to also make a difference. Envelopes with a list of all of Georgia's U.S. House and Senate memebers were handed out along with a sample letter at the Mic Stand. The audience was asked to take a letter and write to one of our State Representatives or Senators when they left the show.

A Poetísical

This week at Georgia College & State University Art as an Agent for Change will perform its first live Poetísical. “The Classroom” is an A.A.C. production that blends poetry, comedy, and drama. The show is an effort to take our audience through the reasoning associated with life in a thoughtless world. Where people are often silent and do nothing to control their lives or take control by doing the wrong thing. The show features 15 spoken word pieces twelve of which are original, three written by other artists
