Janeil Engelstad

ArtSciLab Advisory Board Members

We are honored to have Janeil Engelstad on the ArtSciLab Advisory Board. As the Founding Director of Make Art with Purpose, Janeil has been at the forefront of socially engaged art for decades—long before terms like DEI, decolonization, and inclusion became mainstream in the arts. A pioneer in Social Practice Art, she has collaborated with artists, curators, universities, and museums worldwide to establish and expand this transformative field.
Through her work with Make Art with Purpose (makeartwithpurpose.net) and numerous projects such as Amplify Justice (amplifyjustice.org) and Voices from the Center (voicesfromthecenter.net), Janeil has made a measurable impact across the arts, education, and social justice, using creative expression as a tool for meaningful change. Her ability to weave together art, design, and activism ensures that her work remains both relevant and impactful.
