It’s been three weeks since our 3rd Anniversary Gala and we’re still reflecting on what a beautiful evening we had celebrating Black art and culture. We were able to acknowledge some of the incredible artists and community members who have contributed to our growth, and we exceeded our fundraising goal during the paddle raise! 🏆

Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, donated their time and talents and gave to keep our organization running into the future. We are so grateful! 💜
