Join ArtCorps and use your creative talents to strengthen communities in Central America.

ArtCorps Artists use theater, storytelling, music, digital media and other creative facilitation techniques to educate and inspire people to participate actively in improving the environmental, health and social conditions in their communities.

Each ArtCorps Artist works directly with a local development organization that is an expert in its field, training both community members and organization staff in our field-tested Art for Social Action methodology. Through participatory art, ArtCorps Artists strengthen dialogue between community members and the organization, improve community education and empower local leadership. Partners include organizations such as Oxfam America, CARE and Wildlife Conservation Society.

ArtCorps Artists receive:

  • Room and board
  • Medical insurance
  • A personal stipend of $1,000
  • $1,500 for project materials
  • Training in Art for Social Action
  • Technical assistance and support from ArtCorps staff in the region

 In addition, ArtCorps provides fundraising materials to help ArtCorps Artists cover the costs for which they are responsible ($1,500 for personal expenses, roundtrip airfare and a deposit).
