As the craziness of the past few months begins to die down, we are learning the importance of unity and togetherness in our communities. The world was hit with a life changing pandemic in the COVID-19 virus that left us all feeling isolated and alone, both physically and emotionally. This virus paused our lives from virtually everything—from family and friends, to work and entertainment. Just as the world was starting to see the light, we were faced with a different type of crisis that many have been fighting for years, one that left us needing unity and togetherness even more. The black community has been targeted and it is now time we stand in solidarity behind them.

The entertainment world is what we know best and we would be remiss not to acknowledge the enormous contributions of black people in the entertainment industry. From talented athletes, actors and musicians, to loyal fans and supporters, those in the entertainment community enhance all of our lives. The events of the past weeks prove that it is more important than ever to support movements of racial justice.

VIPTIX is proud to partner with Music Is Art to support and benefit the Arts & Music initiative. Music is Art is dedicated to creating opportunities to fuel the unifying power of music in our region.

Our hope is not to return to life as it was, but to be a part of the change toward a better world.

We’re all in this together.
