 <\/p>\n

The Print Center condemns the violence and injustice routinely perpetrated on Black Americans, Asian Americans and other communities of color. We condemn the embedded,\u00a0systemic\u00a0racism in the United States, which has led to the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and far too many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Print Center's founding commitment to providing democratic access remains a guiding principle. We believe that art, artists, galleries and museums are deeply important to civic engagement and to building stronger communities.\u00a0We honor the power of photography and print to raise and amplify a multiplicity of voices.\u00a0We are committed to fostering that power to advocate for change as well as supporting artists working for equity and justice in our exhibitions and programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through our exhibitions, public programs, publications, arts education activities and hiring practices, we will continue to work to eliminate systemic racism.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
