At Art + Commerce we represent diversity in all aspects of our company. We are a minority-led business, and our employees and artists form a multi-racial, multi-national family. Because we ourselves represent communities of color, the systemic racism and brutality that these protests are confronting, affects us deeply and personally.
Since our inception, we have taken pride in representing artists and their works developed through the lens of diversity. Only through conversation and engagement with different perspectives, may great art arise. However, even as our work is celebrated, social progress for communities that our artists and employees represent continues to lag significantly behind.
This week we will be stepping back from our regular posting and will reflect on images that speak to this significant and historic moment in our lives.
We ask that those who follow us, stand with us in solidarity to demand the need for social equality, justice and acceptance for all. You can take action through these following organizations:
