This is a dynamic exhibit, curated by Brent Holmes, showcasing the work of several local creatives, including multi-hyphenate artist Ashanti McGee (also a curator), painter Joseph Watson (also a children’s book illustrator), and poet Vogue Robinson (also a painter). This, too, honors the African diaspora and Black American experience; this exhibit’s unofficial statement is “Black life is American life.”
This one opened up back in February to commemorate Black History Month, but the City scheduled this to stay up for another six months. Which means you have until August 7 to check it out, which you can do Monday through Thursdays, again, at City Hall.
