Histories & Stories: A Special Province by BAAAR

Saturday, April 2, 2022

Histories and Stories: A Special Province features 13 award-winning artists who have come together to create distinguished, cultural-based art forms that uniquely tie together their African heritage with their American experiences. The exhibit includes a variety of media, including paintings, woodblock prints, collages, etchings, soft sculptures, and quilts.

 

This exhibit demonstrates the importance and development of African American music, literature, theater, dance, and cultural aesthetic through visual art forms crafted by local creators.

BAAAR defines African American art as art which aesthetically encompasses the values, visually articulates the circumstances, and culturally celebrates the beliefs which have directed Black Americans' shared cultural development.
