SECOND MOVEMENT: A Symphony of Change

In the midst of the pandemic, a powerful idea was born - SECOND MOVEMENT. As the world grappled with the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic, the hearts of Americans were heavy with the loss of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. A wave of marches, protests, and riots swept across the globe, marking the First Movement of change. Much like the initial movement in many symphonies, it was abrupt, jarring, and challenging. Yet, we believe that it is now time for the second movement – a harmonious celebration of the beauty that surrounds us and a concerted effort to rebuild and uplift our communities.

As artists and creators, we, the architects of SECOND MOVEMENT, are dedicated to redefining the landscape of the arts. Our mission is clear: to shine a spotlight on artists of color and place them at the forefront of the creative world.

On our Homepage, you will find a vibrant tapestry of news and current events dedicated to artists of color, showcasing their transformative impact on the industry. Our master clips and master classes are valuable educational resources, offered free of charge, to aspiring students navigating the intricacies of the arts world. Our instructors and collaborators, all people of color, generously share their wisdom and experiences, providing a unique perspective on the journey in the arts.

And on our forum's page, we invite you to immerse yourself in the vibrant community that SECOND MOVEMENT fosters. Here, you can pose questions, forge connections, and discover exciting job opportunities within the arts.

At SECOND MOVEMENT, we aspire to redefine what it means to be an artist. Our vision is for young artists to see themselves reflected in their mentors, breaking down the barriers of "imposter syndrome" and celebrating the boundless creativity and talent of artists of color.

Join us on this transformative journey as we compose the second movement of a symphony that harmonizes diversity, creativity, and community. Together, we are orchestrating change in the world of art.
