SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, USA
MISSION:
HELLO NEIGHBOR, SAV is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the intersection between people, community groups, neighborhoods, and organizations by providing free, diverse, all inclusive public community-based events. Through these events we hope to promote connection within our community in effort to reduce cultural tensions and divisiveness and positively impact equitable outcomes for everyone.
HOW IT WORKS:
Hello Neighbor was created to use ART as a catalyst for SOCIAL CHANGE. These events are created with the purpose of placing the onus of good community relations on each of us by providing platforms that encourage ways for us to engage with all our neighbors citywide. Although everyone is encouraged to participate, a special invitation is extended to groups that promote social, political and economic equality.
