LISC 40: Thrive Awardee

LISC Greater Kansas City’s annual community development celebration

LISC 40: Thrive Awardee

A collective of local artists joined together to make a statement through their artistic expression that spoke to the racial reckoning that America faced in the summer of 2020. The end results of their artistic voyage are the Black Lives Matter Murals located at 10th and Baltimore, Briarcliff & N. Mulberry, 18th and Vine, Troost and 63rd, Brookside Blvd & 63rd and Troost and 31st St.

KC Art on the Block, A Black Lives Matter Project, speaks to the heart, passion and feeling of an entire community of people. A Black Lives Matter Project transcends age, race, gender and social economic status. Every artist and community volunteer who joined the project collectively stood together in solidarity against the systemic racial injustice members of the black community have faced for over 400 years.
