According to the mission of Empact Art, art has the power to break down barriers and catalyze unity, healing, and social progress. Artist Ali Mirsky, who is coordinating the mosaic that will be placed in the library of the new Building African American Minds (BAAM) Academic Center in Easton, founded Empact Art with C.G. Duffy, to inspire, connect, and empower individuals and communities through the transformative power of art.
