<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Art reflects the past and the present, anticipates the future, and can change the world for the better. Theater artists, as well-known
and respected personalities, have the opportunity to influence and motivate the public to think about the positives that scenic art brings to their lives, whether it is a high-quality dramatic text or an extraordinary stage performance. On the other hand,
they can motivate the public and involve fellow citizens in socially beneficial activities. Let's think of the recent COVID-19 pandemic or the ongoing war in Ukraine. It was the artists who, thanks to their public media presence, became unofficial spokespeople
for organizations that called on citizens to activism. Actors and actresses are often voluntary faces of non-profit organizations helping people with disabilities or homeless. They participate in various activities, educational meetings, and charity events.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">However, being part of a creative industry, a performing artist, an expert in the field of visual, musical, film, or performing
arts, is often seen as an activity beyond paid employment, as a kind sharing of one's talent and knowledge with the public, and that is why today many theater associations are facing a financial crisis.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What forms of "good" can scenic art abstract in itself? What is the path from artwork to artistic activism?
And what is the status of the artist today?</span></p>

welcome contributions on humanitarian theater productions, actions, and interventions, the theater artist as an activist and volunteer, but also the opposite view and positive examples from the practice of artistic philanthropy, sponsorship, donor activities,
and organizations supporting the arts:</span></p>
