Southwest Black Fine Art Show

June 24, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - June 25, 2017 @ 5:00 pm

Join us the weekend of (6/24 – 6/25) to view and purchase original artwork, limited edition prints and various other creative pieces from artists from across the nation. There will be a series of educational workshops for the first time art buyer, collectors and for the kids.

This year we are pleased to announce two featured artists, Leroy Campbell and James Brown. James Brown is a 90-year-old internationally-known artist. Mr. Brown is a talented painter, graphic artist and illustrator. Most of his work portrays the lives of people in North Africa, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. Mr. Brown has exhibited in shows with other renowned artists such as Romare Bearden, Andy Warhol, Jacob Lawrence, Janet Fish, Elizabeth Catlett and much more.

The internationally-known artist Leroy Campbell who lives in New York is also one of our special guests. Campbell who is originally from South Carolina is known for seamlessly inter-mixing the unlikely themes of Gullah – Geechee cultures, post-Renaissance vibes of Harlem and Brooklyn, and the 1980s African cultural resurgence. Both Brown and Campbell were chosen for their universal views of honoring traditions while fusing them with the current political and social climate.
