“To the lovings, new hope i love you much (most beautiful darling) more than anyone on earth and i like you better than everything in the sky—sunlight and singing welcome your coming although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness no one can quite begin to guess (except my life) the true time of the year— and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone’s heart at your each nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love. cummings”

On Loving Day, we recognize the anniversary of a historic court decision for in*******al marriage.
In 1958, Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested for getting married. They fought their case all the way to the Supreme Court and on June 12th, 1967 (59 years ago today) they finally won. This was a victory against all in*******al marriage laws in the U.S.

Last month, Jasmine Wahi, Founder and co-Director of Project for Empty Space led a conversation on art and activism with our Executive Director Nellie Scott and artists Azikiwe Mohammed and Marilyn Minter - these are just a few quotes from that conversation that we are taking with us.

Thank you to the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation for hosting us in The Chapel in New York, Rauschenberg’s former home and studio.

“I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.” - Camus

We heard many of you asking if you could bring this favorite poster home with you. It is now in available the shop as a magnet - ready for your fridge, workspace, or wherever you could use the reminder.

After moving to Boston in 1968, Corita created thousands of watercolors. In a moment of great change, she turned to a more intimate medium, painting landscapes, seascapes, and an abundance of flowers. Wishing everyone who tends, nurtures, and notices beauty a Happy Mother’s Day!
