LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT NTA's PROJECT TO SHARE A POSITIVE AND INCLUSIVE MESSAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY!
Since 2015, we all live here has been spreading a positive and inclusive message around Chicago by creating public art with schools. Founder Rich Alapack, wanted to do something about racism and hatred so he created a program for schools called ACT (Art, Community, and Technology) that creates public art using the phrase as a theme to invite community participation and support via crowdfunding technology.
All NTA students learned the basics of graphic design and helped create our official we all live here at NTA logo which goes onto merchandise that's sold to empower the school to raise the money for the project on their own.
At NTA we are excited to participate in this growing Chicago movement. Here is Rich's TEDx talk if you're curious to learn more about we all live here:

Our public art project at NTA will be to create laser cut steel signs in English and Chinese (Mandarin) translations of the phrase which we will put on the fence along Cermak Rd. in front of our school. We will have a community event at the school to celebrate the unveiling of the signs after we raise the money and have them installed.
