SOS ART is a 501c3 organization which has for primary objectives to:
•Encourage, promote and provide opportunities for the arts as dynamic vehicles for peace and justice and for a better world.
•Encourage artists to use their art as their voice on issues of peace and justice that concern them, their community and the world.
•Facilitate the creation of a local community of artists who will network and collaborate together using art as a means to impact issues of peace and justice in the community where they live.
•Use the arts to speak about, inform, educate and create a dialogue on issues of peace and justice and thus to bring about positive change.
•Help facilitate the creation and development by local artists of artistic and literary works focused on peace and justice
•Provide art-related educational programs towards peace and justice for all ages
•Use the arts and the teaching of art as tools to introduce basic values of peace and justice in the youth
SOS ART Cincinnati publishes works from its events, also works highlighting local artists and their work for peace and justice and for a better world. This includes, among others, the yearly “SOS ART” book documenting the yearly SOS ART collective exhibit and art festival for peace and justice and the yearly anthology “For a Better World”, a book of poems and drawings on peace and justice by Greater Cincinnati artists.
In 2019, the Dater Foundation helped fund the publication of 1,000 hardbound copies of The Best of 'For a Better World', a book of poems and drawings on peace and justice by Greater Cincinnati Artists. The book was given free to local public/university/school libraries.
