Kathy Eldon and her daughter, Amy, were inspired by Dan’s life to become the co-founders of the Creative Visions Foundation, a global organization dedicated to supporting “creative activists who use media and the arts to transform the world around them”. CVF has assisted more than 100 artists, filmmakers, playwrights, leaders of social movements on five continents who use media and the arts as vehicles of social change. The foundation’s headquarters are in Malibu at the Dan Eldon Center for Creative Activism.
Creative Visions
Following the death of her son, Dan Eldon, who was a photojournalist killed at age 22 while covering the conflict in Somalia for Reuters News Agency, Kathy, along with her daughter, Amy, relaunched Creative Visions in 1998 as non-profit organization to celebrate and support “creative activists” like Dan.
