Black artists are using art to tell untold stories
Since 2011 The Art of Blackness Exhibition has been dedicated to furthering the presence of African Americans in the fields of art, design and advertising, hosted thousands of attendees and exhibited the works of artists from across the country: From Chicago to Oakland and from Detroit to Pennsylvania.
Join us at The Art of Blackness Exhibition, now in its 13th season. Featuring artists working across contemporary visual art and design, the exhibition brings together practices that hold memory and imagination within the same frame—work that reflects what continues to rise, take root, and expand beyond limitation.
