Calls to Action

In partnership with InnerView, these Calls to Action form a powerful and ongoing series of creative challenges. Each challenge focuses on a different issue, empowering young people to use the arts for self-expression, empathy, and positive impact. These simple yet meaningful initiatives invite students to reflect deeply on their inner and outer worlds and respond through diverse media like photography, poetry, visual arts, and film.
Flip the Switch!
How much electricity are you consuming right now? For most of us, access to electricity is something so woven into our daily lives that we tend to take it for granted. Whether it’s keeping medical equipment cool, ensuring clean water, or making late-night studying possible, electricity is crucial to human possibility. Yet as you read this text, nearly 750 million people worldwide are living without this foundation of modern life.
In celebration of the International Day of Light on May 16th, Creative Visions invites you to join in the recognition of light as the force that turns potential into progress. Take a moment to pause, disconnect, and create a piece of art that reflects on what electricity makes possible, and who is left behind without access to its benefits.
