Art for Amnesty works with musicians, actors and artists around the world to raise profile and funds for Amnesty International, enabling us to give a more powerful voice to human rights.

It is no coincidence that artists of all disciplines have been at the forefront of support for Amnesty International since its founding in 1961. Hundreds of writers, playwrights, musicians, and poets persecuted and imprisoned for their art have been adopted by Amnesty International as Prisoners of Conscience. Artists have always valued the freedoms and rights that Amnesty works to protect as an integral condition of their creative expression.

Art for Amnesty seeks to harness the creativity, commitment and support of artists of all disciplines in major global projects and initiatives for the benefit of Amnesty International and the cause of universal human rights.
