on social change, in 2010. Since leaving his job with the National Endowment, Sergant has produced many art exhibits across the state. After launching the Hope Poster and campaign with artist Shepard Fairey in 2008, Sergant encouraged more artists to create powerful images featuring then candidate Barack Obama. Among the artists was painter Ron English who created another now iconic poster entitled "Abraham Obama". He also developed a bicycle spoke card featuring the art of Margaret Coble that was distributed in Portland, Oregon during the primaries that year. The concept grew and soon artists around the United States were creating art to help encourage people to vote for Obama. The movement led to Sergant’s idea to create a pop-up art gallery in Denver Colorado during the Democratic Nation Convention. The event was titled “Manifest Hope” and it featured not only art from popular street artists, but also a concert (in collaboration) that featured Cold War Kids, Death Cab for Cutie and Zooey Deschanel. He followed Manifest Hope with his Los Angeles-based multi-day event, gallery and concert series entitled Manifest Equality, which he created inside an abandoned grocery store on Vine Street in Hollywood California in 2010. Manifest Equality featured renowned artists, musicians, speakers, celebrities and activists with a focus on civil rights. Over 200 artist participated including Gary Baseman, Robbie Conal and Fairey. The RE:FORM SCHOOL exhibit event examining public school reform was hosted in October 2010 in SoHo, Manhattan. In 2015, Sergant created and produced Manifest Justice, again a ten-day event featuring hundreds of artists this time focusing on the message of racial equality and criminal justice, health, and immigration reform.
