Artistic Uprising 2019: An Interview with Co-Organizers Noah Christensen and Brianna Fields
“Our community is so much bigger than what happens at Corporate Pointe.” – Noah Christensen.
Antioch University Los Angeles will host the 12th annual Artistic Uprising on November 15, 2019. Students, alumni, faculty, and friends will share their visual and artistic works of art with the community. All donations and proceeds from the sale of the art will help fund the Bridge Program, which provides low-income adults with university-level education at no cost.
In honor of our Fall 2019 convocation, Antioch LA is partnering with Tongva Nation land and people to support our theme of community. Co-organizers and students in the Undergraduate Studies program Noah Christensen and Brianna Fields, spoke briefly about the development and their involvement with the event.
How did you become involved in the Artistic Uprising?
N: “I visited Art Up last year, and it was great! Andrea Richards is the faculty sponsor, and she is the advisor on the project. I opened my big mouth and said, ‘I’d really like to help next year,’ and Andrea held me to that. Then I reached out to Brianna because I wanted a co-organizer for the project, and luckily she volunteered to help me. “
