Olivia Charlotte Hanson
Olivia Charlotte Hanson is the creator, producer, and host of Arts4Choice. With a background in theater and a love of acting with a purpose, fundraising, and passion, Olivia set out to create a company of performance artists who also believed in fighting for good through their art.
She began Arts4Choice in 2022, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, furious that her rights, and the rights of others, were once again being stripped away. She wanted to create a safe space for those who felt the same anger and determination, a place to come together and raise money for a smaller reproductive justice and abortion advocacy nonprofit serving Alabama, Mississippi, and the Deep South.
As the organization grew, its mission expanded to include not only reproductive rights, but also support LGBTQ+ nonprofits and organizations committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment across the United States, once the current administration came into office.
Since Oct ‘22 Olivia has successfully produced 11 showcases, with November 14th, 2025 being her 12th. She plans to continue this mission and fight for those who deserve respect just as much as any other until there is no need.
