Art is often a commanding voice to influence public discourse and strengthen collective power. Our mission at Just Harvest is to promote a just system of food access by addressing the root causes of hunger – systemic poverty and inequity through policy advocacy, grassroots organizing, community-based solutions and connecting people to benefits.
In the Pittsburgh region, about 1 in 8 of our neighbors are hungry and nearly 1 in 2 lack access to a grocery store within a mile of their home.
JustART: Transformative Voices of Advocacy showcases creative works in a wide variety of mediums that confront, critique and transform conversations around social justice. This show highlights the stories and perspectives of local artists on food justice and imbalanced social systems to inspire change and reform through advocacy.
