I support this project! Mercedes is a talented, compassionate artist who has been working with the community for years to bring this project to fruition, a project that best reflects what they want for their public space.

Stephanie's work continues to impact viewers. I have firsthand knowledge of her work as the former executive director of the Flower City Arts Center where Stephanie completed a residency. I strongly urge you to support this project.

As an american gun violence survivor I so appreciate that an artist is willing to take this on publicly. Practically anytime I tell someone I'm a gun violence survivor, I am met with silence. This silence of friends, people, society is not only alienating, it keeps me from participating positively in society. To come across an exhibition like this would be cleansing & clearing for me and so many silent others. We are silent bc terrorism works. We need artists like Stephanie Mercedes to speak.

I’ve followed Mercedes’ work since her days as Halcyon Fellow and am moved past words. Attended a bell-casting last summer. Really inspired event. I hope you will sponsor this public art installation. It’s a gift to all of us in the DMV.

Lives lost to gun violence always deserve a memorial space for the living to have a moment of reflection.
