Founded in 1973 by community and student activists under the name University Community Video, the organization employed the powerful tool of video art and technology to elicit community dialogue, inspire social change and empower people to tell their own stories. Over time, we evolved and embraced a range of artistic media, changing our name in the 1980s and growing into one of the nation?s premier community-based arts centers. We receive recognition for our success engaging the power of the arts to increase social connections between people from different social, economic and ethnic groups. Our multi-disciplinary art programs inspire people to make changes in their lives and communities. By stimulating broader civic dialogue and by giving voice to the issues and experiences of underrepresented communities, we contribute to a stronger, healthier society.
