Join us for SAMUD: Art Fair & Music, a community gathering in support of local Palestinian refugees through art, culture, and solidarity.

Hosted by Arts in Action and Kalamazoo Nonviolent Opponents of War (KNOW), this event brings together local artists, musicians, and activists to celebrate creativity as a form of resistance and care. “Samud” — meaning steadfastnessin Arabic — is the spirit that sustains the Palestinian people in the face of oppression, and this event is a chance for our community to stand with that resilience.

Suggested Donation: $10 (all proceeds go to support Palestinian families resettled in our area)
Special Guest: Ari Staiger

Come shop local art, enjoy live music, and connect with community members organizing for peace and justice. Every contribution — whether through art, donation, or presence — helps provide direct support to families rebuilding their lives right here in Kalamazoo.
