Abstract: We construct an embedding of any right-angled Artin group $G(Delta)$ defined by a graph $Delta$ into a graph braid group. The number of strands required for the braid group is equal to the chromatic number of $Delta$. This construction yields an example of a hyperbolic surface subgroup embedded in a two strand planar graph braid group.
