A global nonprofit creative studio for social impact

About us

Fine Acts is a playground for social change. We are a global nonprofit creative studio for social impact. We believe in the power of art and play. In our work, we think about ways to make people care and act, and we create novel avenues to empower activism. We: - Nurture collaborations: We bring together activists, artists and techies from across the globe to work on collaborative projects. - Produce powerful art: We create and commission art that raises awareness, triggers action, and fosters greater support for human rights campaigns. - Create effective campaigns: We work with groundbreaking nonprofits from around the world, designing and implementing tailor-made creative campaigns for their needs. - Boost innovation: We design and apply novel formats to explore the intersection of human rights, art, and technology. - Support organizations: We consult and train civil society organizations in creative thinking, utilizing art, and embracing play as a tool for social change. - Practice playtivism: We see the process of incorporating play and experimentation in activism as vital. We came up with and promote the concept of playtivism - as play across disciplines doesn't just spark better ideas but also counters burnout in activism.

All visuals are now published under an open license and are FREE to be unleashed for climate action. ❤️ArtistsForClimate.org ❤️ AND! The impact of these events has gone way beyond the brilliant artworks. Check out the video and head to the project’s website to see how SPRINTS are driving change on a global scale for a better climate future through powerful local actions! #ArtistsForClimate
