Closing Reception and Artist Talk Friday, March 6, 2015, 6 - 9 PM.
The theme of Light of the Ancestors exhibition, curated by Carolyn Goodridge, enlightens audiences of the exquisiteness of the people of the African Diaspora. As a beacon of light and hope for Black History month the show is not about the offenses of others. The artists have come together to express how the ancestors have inspired them and uplifted them.
Faith Ringgold, one of the most prominent African American artists today, is the special guest artist of the Light of the Ancestors show with a painting selling for $175,000. Paul Goodnight, another prominent African American artist, is among the total of sixty-eight exhibiting artists.
