Holiday Illustrations For The Culture

Published on December 02, 2022 by Marissa Pina

Representation in media is not only important, it is vital. As a team, we have always understood the importance of seeing oneself represented both on and off screen.

Throughout the course of 2022 we commissioned holiday art from artists across the country of varying cultural backgrounds. The task? Create a captivating illustration that celebrates a holiday from the artist’s unique perspective. Some artists drew inspiration from their family traditions while others depicted the historical reason for celebrating. We also asked each artist to provide a writing sample that explained the illustration and spoke to their connection to the holiday itself. From Lunar New Year to Kwanzaa, we collaborated with these BIPOC artists to help educate and inspire.
