ABOUT: VMC
We are a group of individuals who came together to spread truth through art. In that effort we created a space for ourselves that provides support, opportunity and amplification of our individuality. We are every intersection converged. We are every color of the palette and every tool in the box. We are fresh and seasoned. We are trained and talented. We are you. We are VMC.
The Squad
Vivid Matter Collective is comprised of the artists who participated in the original Black Lives Matter Street mural activation June 11, 2020 amidst Seattle's CHOP/CHAZ protests. Here are their stories.
