“Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” – John Lewis
Artists have long played a powerful role in challenging injustice,documenting current events, uplifting communities, and inspiring change.
An international visual arts exhibit, presented exclusively online and curated by President & CEO Marjorie Waldo, Good Trouble calls for work that reflects each artist's creative perspective and invites artists to use their work as a platform for awareness, protest, reflection, and transformation.
Inspired by the enduring legacy of the late U.S. Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis, this exhibition honors the courage it takes to speak truth to power, no matter the country or context. In a time shaped by passionate discourse, political division, civic movements, and global debates, Good Trouble welcomes submissions that amplify voices and sparks conversations shaping our shared future.
We invite artists from all nations, backgrounds, and beliefs to respond with thoughtful work. Whether your art challenges the status quo, affirms personal convictions, or explores the complexities of identity, governance, human rights, or environmental justice—this is your platform to engage, question, and inspire.Let your voice be seen. Let your truth be heard.
Arts Garage believes every expression of art has value. Art and Culture have the power to blur the lines that divide people and communities. When we provide a platform for the arts, we create a vehicle for transformation - for individuals, for communities, and for the globe.
