This Juneteenth marks the first day of The HeART of Protest, a new initiative from the King Arts Complex in Columbus designed to bring together over twenty arts and cultural organizations for 46 days of artistic protest to honor the 46 years of George Floyd’s life. Through unique art installations and projects, each organization will focus on telling the story of Black America, from slavery to the present day.
Our new tee honors the work of the King Arts Complex, the arts community of Columbus, and the ongoing fight for justice and equality. 100% of the net proceeds from this tee benefit the King Arts Complex.
HOMAGE is just one of many collaborators joining in this initiative, including BalletMet, CAPA, CATCO, Columbus Museum of Art, COSI, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, Franklin Park Conservatory, Gateway Film Center, Greater Columbus Arts Council, Jazz Arts Group, Lincoln Theater, Ohio History Connection, Opera Columbus, ProMusica, Shadowbox Live, Short North Stage, Urban Arts Space, Wexner Center for the Arts, WOSU, Columbus Gay Men's Chorus and the Harmony Project.
The HeART of Protest takes place between June 19 and early November 2020.
