We are seeking paintings, drawings, photography and works on paper to present in our 3rd Annual Black Artstory Month exhibition series. Selected works will be featured in exhibitions at 10 businesses on Myrtle Avenue from February 1-28, 2015. This year, we’ve brought on curator Ali Rosa-Salas to spearhead program development for the entire month. The theme, “Where I’m From: The Black Artstory of Myrtle and Beyond,” will celebrate the centuries-long black arts tradition on Myrtle Avenue and its surrounding areas. We are currently seeking visual art that explores the concepts of time, travel, time-travel, and transition.
