About For Freedoms
Founded in 2016 by CCA alumni Hank Willis Thomas (MFA Fine Arts/VCS, 2004) and artist Eric Gottesman, For Freedoms is an artist-run initiative that promotes civic participation, discourse, and direct action for artists in the United States. The national civic engagement project was inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—and seeks to use art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values.
