BLACK ART IN AMERICA™
Upcoming Events:
“Our Image is Our Message: As Told by Black Women Artists,” which runs through the month of March at Black Art In America Gallery & Gardens, is an exhibition of Black women artists exploring the stories and perspectives of Black women as told through art. This group show features a range of narrative, figurative, and abstract works incorporating the lived experiences, observations, and aspirations of Black women artists through time.
While providing a compelling glimpse into how Black women artists have grappled with questions of history and society, “Our Image Is Our Message” bears witness to these artists’ varied approaches to self-articulation and social concerns. Among others, the exhibit includes the works of notable artists/printmakers, Traci Mims and Diyah Najah.
Come on out and celebrate Women’s History Month at BAIA with “Our Image Is Our Message.”
