Eugene BIPOC Art Collective
Eugene BIPOC Artist Collective was created to elevate and support local BIPOC artists. What does this mean? This means the group works to highlight the voices and visions of local BIPOC artists through connecting them to spaces, funds, and other resources in the Eugene area. [White allies and artists are encouraged to get involved—not to pursue their own art projects or visions, but rather to support the efforts of BIPOC artists telling their own stories.]
