“From my over 20 plus years as a gallerist, I know that artwork sales put food on the table for artists and boost their visibility. If Wa Na Wari is about anything, it is about the creative use of resources for the betterment of Black people. Art fairs act as significant economic engines for artists and Black Graduation isn’t just an art fair, it is a cultural cornerstone.”
- Elisheba Wokoma, Wa Na Wari Co-Founder & Creator
Black Graduation is a two-day art fair and cultural gathering celebrating Black artists across the diaspora with artists from local, regional and national locations exhibiting.
Presented by Wa Na Wari in partnership with the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM), the weekend brings together artists, collectors, and community to connect, support, and invest in Black creative futures while enjoying everything it means to be part of a community leading culture.
Featuring a curated marketplace, early VIP opening, keynote by Chela Mitchell, live music, film, and conversations on collecting as a pathway to legacy and sustainability.
