Art in Action

Some Testimonials

To My Dearest: Art in Action! To say you have changed my life is an understatement. From the moment I arrived, after riding on my bus for seven hours, I was welcomed to a space that embraced both art and activism, the two passions of my life. I allowed myself to test my openness to the struggles, challenge my heart to breathe for the first time and comfort my spirit toward a blissful balance, surrounded with love and peace. I do not know exactly how to express the great amount of appreciation I have for the effort, dedication, patience and love you all put into 10 days to truly display the most important part of resistance – ACTION! Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart for being my inspiration.

Dear Art in Action, Thank you for filling me up with love, strength, and compassion. For allowing space to feel pain, to process it and to be inspired by everyone you brought together for those beautiful 10 days. I came this year drawing strength, love and wisdom from my loved ones and my community, the people I work with who are locked up but fighting, fighting, fighting for liberation. I will no doubt be bringing the love and strength we shared together at Art in Action right back at them! Thank you for creating space for all of us to practice community and build a culture based on compassion and trust. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to connect and build with these amazing visionaries and artists. I love you Art in Action!!! I will continue to keep you in my heart as I have since I was first lucky enough to be a part of this community. Love Always,
