“Now, more than ever, we believe that drawing our communities closer together is essential to out survival, let along professional or artistic achievement. We are living in a time of physical distancing and self isolation; a time of divisiveness and division. We believe that artistic expression plays a vital role in forcing social introspection and provoking change the the releasing of ideas that are damaging to the greater good of our global community and collective humanity. We believe that art is an essential part of our healing process and a gateway to finding common ground so that we can move forward together.”
