]]>Dear LLC Family,
This week is the Choice Program at UMBC's 5th Annual ArtRising, taking place virtually @choicevoices on instagram!
The celebration includes daily workshops and activities, both pre-recorded and live, culminating in a daylong event on Saturday, April 25th. Again, it's all @choicevoices, so make sure to follow us, participate, like, and share!!
On the 5th anniversary of the death of Freddie Gray, and always, opportunities for young people and communities to come together and share their voices and talents are imperative. We see ArtRising as a way of countering the discrimination, overpolicing, and adultification too many of our young people face. We see it as a way to directly compensate community artists--11 total for this event--a meaningful act for many during this time of crisis. And we see it as a way to bring all of our communities together, despite being socially distanced. We appreciate everyone's support and commitment to this work so much, and hope to see you online!
At this point the best way to support is through participation and helping to get the word out! Feel free to share, any questions can be directed to me, afrank3@umbc.edu
Thanks,
Frank
