Art For Change

Art For Change

“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward." – Ijeoma Oluo

Lara created two new paintings that are dedicated to anti-racism and the movement to bring transformative justice, healing and lasting systemic change in our country. 50% of proceeds for ‘Colors of Change’ will be donated to Black Lives Matter, and 50% of proceeds for ‘Tell the Truth America’ will be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative.
