ChagallPAC stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We must work together to dismantle systemic racism and lift each other’s voices up. 

Working as a community of artists committed to collaborating across disciplines and exploring the ways we experience art, there is no room for racism, prejudice or violence in any form. It is important to publicly support the Black Lives Matter movement and take action to raise awareness of the injustices allowed by the racist acts happening in our country. We are heartbroken by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many other Black Americans who have lost their lives unjustly. 

 

ChagallPAC says Black Lives Matter.

 

ChagallPAC is also taking action by announcing a Call for Art for Racial Justice.
