From the Mellon Foundation: “Rachel Chanoff, founding director of Artists At Work, speaks to the Mellon Foundation about forging a new model for artist-driven community collaborations and why we need artists as problem solvers.” <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nChanoff speaks to the uniqueness of this model, “We put the artists on our payroll at a living wage with benefits for up to a year. They\u2019re paid for two things: to make beautiful art and to be embedded in a social impact initiative. Not only are artists the messengers who help us make meaning of the world, they have the most extraordinary ability to bring creative thinking to a problem and help solve that problem.” <\/p>\n
