Black Art Matters is about celebrating the peaks and valleys of ALL black lives in the past, the present, and the possibilities of the future. Art that explores struggle, tears, laughter, frustration, and hope. Art that depicts the unwavering faith, power and character, the endurance and fearlessness experienced generation upon generation. Art that conveys depth, provokes discussion, and even makes people uncomfortable. Regardless of whether it’s portraying the Harlem Renaissance, dismantling the stigma in today’s workplace, or even how to safely raise a black child in today’s society.
