AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

"ARTIVIST" is the 1st international film festival dedicated to
addressing Human Rights, Children's Advocacy, Environmental
Preservation and Animal Rights. Our mission is to strengthen the
voice of international activist artists - "Artivists" - while raising
public awareness and funds for social global causes.

Founded in July 2003, The Artivist Collective, a 501c3 nonprofit

for social, global issues. In the past 5 years, ARTIVIST has
screened 200+ films from over 50 countries, has reached millions of
people with its public relations campaign, and has united with
activist celebrities to bring "Artivism" to the media. The Artivist
Film Festival has received various endorsements from community
leaders and internationally recognized organizations, including
letters from the UNITED NATIONS Department of Public Information.
