ABOUT "ARTISTS RISE UP LOS ANGELES"

ARTISTS RISE UP LOS ANGELES, the brainchild of director and executive producer Sue Hamilton, (in collaboration with ARTISTS RISE UP NEW YORK and its leader, Jessica Litwak), was born as a result of the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election: "ARULA speaks to the need to create positive, social and revolutionary change by being who we are and doing what we DO," shares Sue Hamilton.

ARULA boasts over one hundred and fifty members and continues to grow each day. It is made up of diverse members of the creative community, representing actors, directors, writers, filmmakers, singers and dancers, spoken word artists, photographers and others, all of whom have come together to RISE UP.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT. WE WILL USE OUR UNIQUE ARTISTIC VOICES TO BRING SOCIAL JUSTICE AND POSITIVE CHANGE TO THE WORLD.

Comments ARULA executive producer, Sue Hamilton, "Art has the power to expose us to perspectives we might never have previously considered, and in the current political climate, many feel helpless and even hopeless. We hope that through our art we can encourage not only understanding, but activism. ARULA aims to inspire all who wish to be proactively involved the ability to RISE UP, get involved in social change, and unite our community through creativity.
