Artists are activists.

Artists are powerful. A force to be reckoned with. It’s a simple equation: more art, better world.

Getty Unshuttered is a free photo sharing app from the Getty Museum. It’s built to be a positive community for teen artists to raise their voices for social good. To inspire each other. To grow as artists.

What are you passionate about? What do you want to change? Snap it. Share it. Energize others to act. That’s a virtuous cycle, right?

Creating meaning in a time of social isolation

For young people, Getty Unshuttered can fulfill an important need for connection and purpose during a time of social isolation. The app creates a community that empowers teens to raise their voices for social good. Through photography challenges and virtual peer-to-peer connections, teens are encouraged to share their passions and activate others through photography.
The opportunities are endless. Some teens use their photography to bring awareness to pro-social good. For example, one high schooler used photography to shed light on foster youth. Teens may also find that having a creative outlet to document their social distancing journey is beneficial to their mental health.
