Artists for Obama was a series of 10 limited edition fine art prints created and donated by various artists under the direction of U.S. President Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign organization, Obama for America. The prints were official campaign products of Obama for America, sold directly by its website, and all proceeds were considered campaign contributions.

Among the most recognizable prints from this series is Shepard Fairey's Change, color screenprint, first released on January 2008, in an edition of 5,000 in which the first 200 were hand-signed (in the style of his Obama Hope poster). Gemini ER 12-1619.
