As an organization, The Lamp Project is now defunct. We were dedicated to spotlighting and supporting socially engaged artists and the causes they champion. You can still find a web page full of great art, articles, and interviews at thelampproject.org. The Lamp Project focused its efforts on artists who: • Make great art • Give significant time, energy, or resources to a good cause • Are "under-recognized," or deserving of more recognition than they have yet received. We focused on causes which: • Tend to be unifying and not divisive • Get to the core of what it means to be human—arts, education, poverty, homelessness, hunger, disease, domestic violence, slavery, and human rights in general.
