I’ve felt for a long time there’s a way to handle the confederate statue issue in a positive way.1) Remove the statues and store them in a museum somewhere, & 2) Have local & national contests for contemporary artists to replace them in the places where they once stood. #artheals

as an artist I'd love to give you some feedback: making artists participate in contests is demeaning it essentially causes us to work for free without knowing if we will get hired. I understand where you are going with this, but please, just do a RFQ for artists instead

What are you talking about? No one would be “making” an artist do anything! And they would be paid for their work, by the way.

I like the idea...👆 May our history not be abandoned...but used as fuel for justice moving forward. May ours be a chapter of love.

We could convert them into satellites and launch them into space. I think they would have wanted that.
