"Celebrating Black art, to me, means expressing Black art is full of abundance and complexities but still based in the community. One of the beautiful things about Black art is that it can take many different forms yet has the power to interact, build off of, and comment on one another to formulate entirely new perspectives." – Sahara Clemons
