In the summer of 2020, in the midst of being closed for six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of RIT students began posting messages in support of equality, Black Lives Matter, inclusivity and justice in our windows.

City Art Space then invited RIT students, faculty, staff, and alumni to help us extend and expand this project onto the walls by contributing a message, image or artwork of their own.

Thanks to all who contributed:
