Alfa Art Gallery is proud to host our first annual Black History Month Celebration exhibition.

Since 1976, Black History Month has been celebrated nationally during the month of February. It is a time to commemorate important African-American figures and celebrate the crucial role they have played in American and World History.

This group exhibition combines the works of seven talented local artists who draw upon a rich history to communicate a unique cultural perspective. And they approach this perspective using a broad array of techniques and media: Narrative photography is used to document and define personal identities, abstracted yet powerful sculpture communicates strength and suffering, and realistic portraiture explores popular American culture and the sense of community. Together, these works capture the importance of this unique perspective in a well-rounded, yet powerful collection. 

Featuring:
