The Greenlining Institute is a public policy institute that addresses
social justice issues affecting California’s diverse communities.
Greenlining started the Seed Corn Gallery as its way of acknowledging
the debt that social justice movements all over California and the
nation owe to the artists that have given it life. Greenlining
believes that art is a means of communicating the social justice ideas
that transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, as well as time.
