Learn to make art that can change the world.

Multidisciplinary artist, entrepreneur, and activist Stuart Semple believes that art is for everyone, and that everyone is an artist. Every single human has an inner spark of creativity that can make the world a better place. Art can change people, places, attitudes, and communities, healing and communicating when words aren’t enough.

Make Art or Die Trying empowers you to understand and connect with big art ideas and embrace your creative potential, no matter where you’re starting from. This stunning, informative, and inspiring book demystifies influential art concepts of the 20th and 21st centuries, including happenings, performance art, Bauhaus, and Fluxus, making them super-approachable and inviting you to learn, make art, and make change.

Each chapter:
 

  • Explains a transformative art concept in a simple, straightforward, jargon-free way.
  • Shares examples by amazing and innovative artists.
  • Offers DIY ideas and exercises that encourage you to explore the concept yourself and ultimately develop your own unique conversation with the wider world.
  • Includes a QR code that allows access to an exclusive video by Stuart that takes the conversation to a deeper level.

Let Make Art or Die Trying be your guide to harnessing the power of creative ideas to create art and change in your life and community.

"Profusely illustrated throughout, exceptionally well organized, and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in presentation." - Midwest Book Review

"Stunning, informative, and inspiring." - Entree Travel Newsletter
