Artist as Catalyst (AAC) is a regional initiative created by The Peace Studio, intended to provide young creatives (aged 18 – 30) with networking opportunities and the resources to “use their craft in the service of peacebuilding.” AAC is a three-day immersive experience that assists new artists and creative leaders across multiple disciplines in finding their voices.
In the AAC program, participants will “engage in a unique blend of workshops, keynotes, collaborative labs, and community events… With city-specific creative direction and cross-cohort follow-up support, AAC fosters a new generation of artist-leaders using story to shift culture and activate change.”
The program is also a fully funded experience and provides free meals and parking for its participants.
Program dates: June 12 – 14, 2026
Location: Santa Monica, CA
The application priority deadline is May 8th and the final deadline is May 15th.
