“When artists activate the social imagination and cultural practices bring people together, when new images and events claim or create public space, and when cultural organizing mobilizes people to action, art disrupts and influences social and political dynamics and discourse in the public realm. And, when funders shape programs to support this work, they too are influencers and activists in the public realm. … And, as funders step into the public realm along with the artists they support, they must consider their own implications and risk factors.” – Grantmakers in the Arts
