The Work of Our Hands

The Work of Our Hands explores how Black artists use the foundational mediums of painting and drawing as powerful vehicles for communication, self-definition, and storytelling. Focused on the intimate, expressive nature of the hand-drawn line and the painted surface, the exhibition emphasizes the enduring significance of these traditional practices in articulating personal, cultural, and historical narratives.
On display through February 21.
Meet the artists every Friday from 1-2pm!
