The Social Justice Arts Ministry (SJAM) explores social justice issues utilizing both the visual arts as well as music, writing, drama and dance. This is rooted in the belief that because the arts affect people at a fundamental level they can be a catalyst for change. Art can also be a stepping off place for conversations to begin. It is our hope that the art presented will be that stepping off place for conversation and for change.
We hope to have different social justice art exhibits in our Oak Street Gallery during the year. Ideas for exhibits include: environmental justice, LGBTQIA+, poverty, homelessness, housing, gun, prison reform, and health care.
