Simparch

Simparch is a group of American artists based out of New Mexico. The group is maintained and organized by two prominent members, Matthew Lynch and Steve Badgett. Simparch creates large scale, usually interactive installations/works that examine simple architecture, building practices, and recyclable material. Simparch often works in collaberation with other artists including several musicians, filmmakers, graffiti artists, and skateboarders. Most of Simparch's works experiment with design and materials and encourage interaction.He said the league office continues to effectively identify and hire people of color at the vice president and above level, but a lack of diversity at the club level in the same position remains. The study noted that at the league office 22.5% of people in positions of vice presidents or above are people of color, an increase from last year. In contrast, only 12.8% are people of color at the team level.
