We want to share with you a project that has been developing since early 2025, grounded in supporting BIPOC artists in the greater Springfield MA area.
The concept of the Healing Arts Reparations Team (HART) was developed because we noticed a pattern of visionary black and brown artists who are making immense impact in their communities, but are exhausted, overworked, isolated and under resourced.
Without the resources to hire a team, how do we not only continue our work but build a legacy for future generations?
Our answer: a reparations approach to sharing labor. This is a Project of the Rest Clinic, hosted by the Embodied Leadership Project.
If this resonates, and you would like to get involved, you can fill out an application here.
You can learn more about the vision of HART here, and the structure of it here.
