Hope Corps seeks to connect under and unemployed workers in creative industries with career and network building opportunities, specifically in areas that support and meet the public and civic needs of our times. With this strategic workforce development focus, Hope Corps will be implemented through various projects and partners.
As the inaugural project, Hope Corps will support Beloved, a unique public health focused campaign designed to bring awareness to treating violence as a public health issue, amplify community lead solutions and call us to collective action to end gun violence. Everyone lost to gun violence is someone's Beloved and the campaign was created to center the stories, perspectives and solutions of those directly impacted by and working to change the norms, stigma and narrative around gun violence. This inclusive strategy will employ artists, storytellers, and creative workers in partnership with local, BIPOC-led independent media outlets to raise awareness, educate, amplify solutions and call us to action to join in co-creating a shared vision for our beloved community.
This 12 Week Campaign was conceived by A Contemporary Love Affair and The Art of Social Impact, and is made possible by the City of Seattle's Office of Arts and Culture & Public Health- Seattle & King County
