BIG NEWS! We’re super excited to announce that The Greats – Fine Acts’ platform for socially engaged visuals – was honoured as Finalist in Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards! We are one of just 4 Finalists in the Creativity category, amongst the largest number of entries ever received for the awards.
TheGreats.co is the absolute go-to place for socially-engaged visual content. All available works are published under a specific open licence that allows free noncommercial use and adaptation, given the appropriate credit. It offers a solution to a key issue for the non-governmental sector – visual content is of grave importance for engaging support, however, often organizations lack the capacity and resources to create it.
Since its launch last year, The Greats has become home to more than 750 artworks by 400 global artists. The works have been viewed more than 150 000 times and downloaded thousands of times. These are just a few examples of how different nonprofits have been using the illustrations:
Thank you to all of the hundreds of amazing artists that we’ve worked with over the past year, making all of this possible! We’re seeing a record number of activists use The Greats for their campaigns and initiatives, spreading a new vision for human rights.
