Street Art for Social Change
Justseeds was originally started in 1998 by artist Josh PacPhee as a way to distribute his art and the Celebrate People’s History poster series. In 2006, MacPhee reached out to a dozen like-minded artists and previous collaborators as well as the political street art Blog Visual Resistance in order to re-envision Justseeds as a cooperative effort.

Project Open Door aims to alleviate some of the financial and educational obstacles teens from low-income families face when they seek advanced arts learning opportunities that will prepare them for college and careers in art and design. Teens with a passion for art and design attend programs at their schools and come to RISD to experience campus life. Approximately 150 teens from Providence and around Rhode Island participate in programs each school year and summer.
