nbaf: embracing fine art
Thursday July 19, the National Black Arts Festival continued its
celebration of the contributions of people of African descent at the
Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery. Art lovers and cultural enthusiasts
packed the space to preview works of prominent artists from around the
nation.
Susan L. Taylor, Essence magazine’s editorial director,
was present to spread awareness about the benefits of male mentoring
and supporting one’s culture.
Guests mingled, admired and acquired new pieces, while a live band kept the mood mellow. -adam jones
