Black Invitational
art exhibition continues to promote biack artists
Part II
Now in its third year, the Annu
al Black Invitational art exhibition
continues to promote a greater
awareness, understanding and
appreciation of the visual arts and
the contributions made by local
African- American artists.
One of the main purposes of
this show is to highlight the works
of African -American artists living
and working in the Triad. The exhi
bition has, in its first two years,
established the fact that many black
artists are producing quality works
and not receiving the support they
need or deserve. It further showed
the need for this exhibit to continue
to grow.
In last week's articlc you were
able to read about the first 6 of the
13 artists to be exhibited. Here are
the remaining 7 artists.
