Event Description

Art is a need to express. A culture that has shunned and ignored Black artists did not stop them from creating outstanding, thoughtful, and provocative art. From art about identity and race to social justice and personal reflection, there is no one definition of Black Art. Join artist and professor Chris Vivas as we explore several important Black American artists and their works in various media styles, unique perspectives, and experiences.
