Community

Gibney Community Action works at the intersection of arts and social action.

Community programs bring a range of social issues to the spotlight, with a focus on gender-based violence, activating the arts to address social action.

We are committed to working directly with communities impacted by intimate partner violence, preventing gender-based violence, rigorous research, and advocacy through our programs.
