Celebrating Black American Artists Monday, February 23 | 7:00–8:30 pm Art is a need to express.

From identity and race to social justice and personal reflection, there is no single definition of Black art. Join artist and professor Chris Vivas as we explore important Black American artists and their work across multiple media, perspectives, and lived experiences. |
