Join us for a conversation between IAA Artist Director, Daniel Minter and IAA Mentorship Alum, Sonya Clark ’21 as they discuss the influence Toni Morrison has had on their recent projects. This program is a part of the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival (BBCBF).

Athena Lynch and Stephen Hamilton will close out the month of September with an open house. Through the lens of painting, sculpture, video, performance, installation and community organizing, these mixed media artists both reimagine African Diasporic storytelling through the lens of recorded history, cultural memory and lived experience.

As metalsmiths and jewelers, both Aina Sullivan and Funlola Coker’s sculptures and design work are rooted in their ancestral heritage, delving into the intangible nature of memory and intuitive exploration of material. Get a look into their respective practices with this immersive Open Studio.
This non-profit organization is centered on providing a dedicated space for the artistic development and community building of people of African descent. It serves as a vital hub for creative expression and professional growth within the local arts scene.story_potoo
