The IMPACT Social Entrepreneurship Awards program is one of the anchor initiatives of the California College of the Art’s Center for Art and Public Life. This program enables interdisciplinary teams of CCA students to develop and implement social innovations through their studies in art, architecture, design, and writing.

After a rigorous selection process, the college has awarded the best projects that emphasize interdisciplinary engagement, social entrepreneurship, and collaborative relationships with community partners. All projects are required to have a detailed action plan that supports social and humanitarian goals. A critical element of the IMPACT Awards is the collaboration with CCA’s DMBA Program. Selected alumni and students from the DMBA program will serve as mentors throughout the process of project development and implementation.

The Center for Art and Public Life at California College of the Arts is pleased to announce the winning IMPACT Teams. Each team has been awarded $10,000 towards their project.
