PAC-WE Presents: Making the Invisible Visible

PAC–What? The Professional Artist Coalition is a flash mob action creating a bright public yellow signal for health care reform. A first for Dallas, and this cause.

PAC-Who? The North Texas art community. This includes thousands of citizens daily engaged in the visual, performing, literary, media, and commercial arts.

PAC-WHERE? Morton Meyerson Symphony Hall – convene under the di Suvero Sculpture ‘Proverb/ Pendulum for preparation of happening.

PAC-HOW? Show up and bring your friend, your coffee and donuts. Nothing will be sold at this event.
~Arrive by 11 a.m.
~Obtain a yellow pancho from distributor (suggested $2.00 donation)
~Choose your preference colored dot to represent your health care view.
~Choose your insignia logo identifying your artistic medium.

PAC-WHY? Because artists of any kind stand with the American people to demand a change to the status quo of a broken health care system. Because artists are unique victims of the health care status quo. Most are independent contractors, uninsured or underinsured. Because artists are fed up with other PAC’s (Political Action Committees) funded by insurance and drug companies that are fighting to care for profits instead of health. Because the North Texas art community realizes that at the very moment that Dallas is celebrating its new PAC (Performing Arts Center), with architects and programming imported from elsewhere, it has no plan to sustain its own creative community. Because artists have been silent and invisible for too long when it comes to the health and care of our society. PAC WE – The Origin of the Concept PAC MAN is a sign of consumption. We often consume health care and culture without thinking about its wider context. We don’t ask why healthcare costs so much or why so many are left without it. We also don’t ask about the livelihoods and healthcare of the artists that are seen as culture providers.
