The Art of Freedom II
Many Richmond residents don't even know that we have an amazing museum of Black history in our backyard. For several years, we have been a proud supporter of the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. Opening today is new exhibit that we are honored to support: Art of Freedom II. As described on their website:
Art of Freedom II is an invitation for patrons to experience artists’ works that represent the ever changing atmosphere of our society such as successes, failures, war, and disease related to and because of things like the COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, and removal and additions to monuments and public art. The exhibition will allow visitors to view what freedom means through the lenses of the artists. Our hope is those who experience the exhibition and participate in programs will examine their own interpretations of freedom from the Black experience as well as inclusively and ultimately take action to promote freedom for all people.
Last night was the opening reception and this is an exhibit not to be missed. Here is a link to the museum's website to learn more about this exhibit and to plan your visit.
