A tiny form in an orange snowsuit and a black and white space helmet stands in front of what looks like a crashed space pod. Is it a child? A statue? The barren winter landscape adds to the alien feeling.

Hey, community! It’s Juneteenth! We’re wishin

Hey, community! It’s Juneteenth!
We’re wishing a healing celebration to our Black neighbors, family and friends. White folks: if you’re wondering how you can mark this day, we recommend listening to, learning from, supporting, and amplifying the voices of Black artists and Black-led arts organizations. Show up, send money, engage with their art, share with your circles. Artists are revolutionary visionaries! Let’s celebrate them!

Our website has been glitchy the last couple days - if it happens to be working right now, there’s a link in our bio with a list of local Black-led arts orgs to check out. (and if it’s not working right now, COME BACK another day! Our support doesn’t end here / now / today. It’s got to be ongoing).
