Celebrating African American Artists in February

Curated by Llewellyn Berry, African American Art Exhibit presents artworks by African American artists from communities in and around the Washington, D.C. area. The African American Art Exhibit, “The Common Bond” was initiated by Millie Shott in 1996 at Strathmore Mansion and has continued as an annual event at Friendship Gallery. 22 exhibiting artists draw on the Diaspora for inspiration and the foundation of their own family traditions for inspiration. Presented by the Kindalew Collective and Friendship Gallery, the exhibit runs Monday, Feb. 5 through Saturday, March 2. Meet the artists during a reception Sunday, Feb. 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
