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.
