BLACK ARTISTS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

This dream project has lift off! Black Artists of Northern California is my guest curator project for Petaluma Arts Center, my hometown art center. I have the privilege to work with 26 other artists, musicians, and writers for this exhibition.

My inspiration for the project came from a few events that sparked the possibility of this event happening. 2024 is Black History “African Americans Year of the Arts”. To celebrate the achievements, I worked with Faith Ross and Petaluma Blacks for Community Development in February on two Artists in Conversation. Here are the links:

With every big dream there is a need for sponsors. I am looking for sponsors to help us create a catalog of the exhibition. To document and to acknowledge these artists, it would be grand to have a catalog with their art and their voices about the work. If you are inclined, please look at the levels you could participate, and remember any amount will help make this exhibition shine. If you are able, please send your donation to: https://petalumaartscenter.org/donor

I hope to seen you at Petaluma Arts Center this summer. We have jazz on Saturday, July 20th Artists Opening and African Kora music on Saturday, August 24th.

Love to you, Denise
