Black Artstory Month: Artwalk on Myrtle Avenue

Join us to kick off Black Artstory Month on Myrtle Avenue! Native Sons and Daughters launches on February 1st with two events: an avenue-wide Artwalk and opening reception at The Emerson.

Artwalk (Visual Art): 6pm-8pm
Curator Daonne Huff brings together works that explore stories of migration, and of shaping identity.  While the emphasis is on the African American experience, artists from a variety of backgrounds are included in exhibitions at 10 locations along Myrtle Avenue. Stop by these locations on Saturday, February 1st for the opportunity to view the works, meet some of the artists, and enjoy specials at select businesses! Dowload the Artwalk map.
