3rd THURSDAYS ON 25TH STREET, FEBRUARY 16, 6-8 PM
We are excited to celebrate Black History Month and to announce we are dedicating a space in the gallery for rotating artworks that are for contemplation and in response to contemporary social issues. It will be be a place for visitors to view an array of artworks that express artists' perspectives to the social and or political climate of the day. We will provide seating, to encourage reflection. We are dedicating and naming the wall after the inspiring former Ohio Senator Nina Turner. The space will be designated and used for this purpose for an ongoing period. We hope you'll join us!
Be inspired! Watch Nina Turner's speech at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, DC.
