We are an international community-based collective.
We are arts educators, art therapists, artist teachers, and educators committed to facilitating arts and education initiatives with children and youth in conflict-affected environments. Through respect, open dialogue, and long-term cooperation, we work with local partners to create, produce and share these experiences with a broader global audience.
We believe the fostering of capabilities associated with the arts – from engaging in creative expression and reflection to big picture thinking – can provide people with the freedoms, abilities, and agency to respond to and take action in their daily lives.

More than 426 million children and youth currently live in recognized conflict-affected areas.
Globally, one in five grow up in a war zone. The humanitarian group, Save the Children estimate that conflict now impacts children at the highest rate in a generation. In the United States, the monthly child poverty rate increased to 17 percent, representing close to 13 million children, in January of 2022. ArtsAction Group is committed to working with these communities, side by side, through the arts and education.
