“Artists We Will and events like it are crucial because they provide a space for women of color to speak with certainty on the ways we can improve our society by approaching problems from a different vantage point. Celebrating women in the arts reminds everyone that art plays a crucial role in the way our society will operate and the more artistic appreciation we have the more humane all of our citizens will be. We need humane ideas to be the dominant mode of thinking now more than ever.”

“Via Seattle is a great non-profit organization and I admire what Gennette Cordova is building. Creating a space for others and encouraging women, especially women of color, to inspire others. The Artists We Will Be panel was a great experience for me to learn about other artists based in Seattle. All artists on the panel were friends of mine and I love their art. I'm looking forward to seeing what Via Seattle comes up with next.”
