Point Comfort Art Show 2022 is a panoramic experience of ART, CONVERSATIONS and VIBES featuring the art of Basil Watson, Brandon Clark, Tiffany Glenn, Nathalie Jolivert, Phil Shing, Musa Hixon, Chris Clark, Tommy the Animator and Judy Bowman. These artists will be featured in our 80x40 foot tent in the Gardens at The Historic Ward Rooming House.

Point Comfort's Indaba Lounge Series brings people together in conversation through art and music. The word “Indaba” is Swahili for “come together” or “meeting of great minds”. Our Indaba Lounge Series musical vibes will be curated by the world renowned musicologist Rich Medina. Medina is a musical virtuoso whose curation of Afrobeat musical selections celebrates the global Africana movement. A perfect complement to Point Comfort.

In the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery we will show "Charles White, Move on Up!" featuring the artwork of Charles White and his circle of influence - artists that inspired and mentored him and artists that he mentored and inspired - David Siqueiros, Hale Woodruff, Henry Tanner, John Biggers, Ernie Barnes & Benny Andrews. This show is the official companion exhibit for University Miami's Lowe Art Museum Exhibition "Charles White, A Little Higher", a 40 piece survey of the artwork of Charles White. The names of the respective shows at the Lowe Museum & Historic Ward Rooming House in Overtown, is a play on words and unites a consistent theme within White's work. Charles White created a charcoal drawing entitled "Move on Up, a Little Higher", a drawing that conveys all the emotional and figurative realism one associates with Charles White. The title refers to the gospel song of Mahalia Jackson whose 1948 recording made her famous. We hope "Move on Up" and "A little Higher" literally, and figuratively becomes one and provides the viewer a total experience.
