Amplifier is a design lab that builds art to amplify the voices of grassroots movements. It works with a community of social change partners, in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds, to build symbols, language, and distribution strategies that can change the national narrative.
Amplifier draws from a deep portfolio of artists to commission new art, then take the work and distribute it in unparalleled numbers through creative space hacks, reaching new audiences and driving real change.
Amplifier was founded by Aaron Huey, National Geographic photographer.
One of its most prominent artists is Shepard Fairey, creator and founder of Obey Clothing and Obey Giant. He became widely known during the 2008 presidential election for his Barak Obama “Hope” poster.
