Dear Friend,
We write you this fundraising letter as we are halfway through filming a documentary about “social justice art”. Unfortunately our camera with which we brought you over forty films, documentaries and other footage stopped working. We intend to finish this documentary featuring many great artists such as film maker Udi Aloni, outspoken MC’s Lowkey, Immortal Technique, Anita Tijoux, up and coming graphic artists Favianna Rodriguez with Josh McPhee, or reporter and poet John Ross and these are just the few.
This film pinpoints there is global artist movement, larger than historical expressionism, cubism or surrealism which is being often omitted and unrepresented by the mainstream art industries and educational institutions.
The artists we interviewed will tell you what is going on in this movement and show you what does it mean to be socially conscious, but we need a new camera to finish all the interviews in order bring it to you. We also need a camera so we could keep bringing you the type of footage we do, no matter if is it filming for The Struggle TV available on public access network from Main to Manhattan, ArtAndStruggle.Com website or other programs.
We are asking you to donate small amount towards a purchase of our new camcorder. Your donation will cover small fraction of this equipment which will also improve the audio and video quality of footage we will bring you in the future. When we combine all these small donations and acts of solidarity we will be able to purchase it in all of our donor’s names.
We are also looking for an option if anyone would be interested to purchase the whole equipment for us.
If anyone would like to donate us their used digital camera, please send us an email with the name and type of the equipment.
All of our donations are tax deductible and we will send you thank you note with letter of recognition if you make this donation.
If you would like to find out more about the camcorder, please follow this link. If have any advice about this or other equipment please contact us through Contact@ArtAndStruggle.Com

Our Mission:
ArtAndStruggle.Com is here to document and assemble a comprehensive educational collection of social justice art, the biggest, most diverse artist movement.
Art And Struggle is an artist & activist collective that disseminates information through cultural mediums. We promote freedom of speech and expression with justice and
equality to all living creatures.
We strive towards just, equitable, long term sustainable
peaceful society. ArtAndStruggle.Com is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to the development of documentary photography, investigative journalism, multimedia, rhymes,
music, films, installations, art and education to engage in dialogue with our respective communities for social,
economical and political change across the globe.
We seek to create a venue where ideas, exploration, creativity and the completion of such work can be achieved.
Individual vision can become a beacon that serves as a catalyst to human understanding and enlightenment of the whole society. ArtAndStruggle.Com seeks to provide a place where this creativity can grow, nourish and find an outlet.
Photography, video, music and other documents that are created from these mediums are key components of the information age. They are critical to the creation of public awareness and the resulting policies that affect or change our society. Our goal is to provide insight and perspective.
Because the resources, distribution, access to documentary, journalistic or social research is becoming more and more controlled, restricted or manipulated due to corporate globalization, government intervention and/or the dictates of the commercial market place; In depth, independent work is becoming extremely difficult to accomplish.
When evaluating the importance these independent voices contribute to the society, ArtAndStruggle.Com seeks to contribute to a venue where ideas, exploration and the completion of such work can be achieved.
Art And Struggle can not compete with corporate media, multinational art dealers, elitists art magazine or publishers who dictates the conditions of art industry, but we can make an indent in their empires. We can bring you meaningful art which believes that “another world is possible”.
All individuals are welcome, needed and appreciated no matter if you are concerned with your community, other continents, or the whole Earth, whether you produce films, are an emcee, create poetry, paint, dance, or do photography, it does not matter. Art And Struggle is here to document and assemble a comprehensive educational collection of social justice art, the biggest, most diverse artist movement.
We are far from ordinary, a non-profit gallery. We bring you picture of the world we live-in painted by not your ordinary artists.
While more and more dealers look to the Internet to find the
“next big talent”, ArtAndStruggle.Com provides the ideal
opportunity for the “real talent”.
Our collective is delighted to support artists in promoting
real issues of this blue planet. We are extremely proud of the
standard of work produced by our members, which covers a
fantastic range of style and technique. Our online galleries contains
a huge selection of superb art including oil paintings, acrylics,
