Where Legacy Lives: A Black Fine Art Tribute to Dr. Michael Butler

Join us for an extraordinary outdoor art experience that celebrates the creative brilliance of Black Fine Artists from across the United States. This dynamic exhibition brings together a wide range of talent, offering a rich tapestry of visual narratives that reflect diverse perspectives, cultural heritage, and powerful personal expression. Set in an open-air setting, the event promises a vibrant, immersive atmosphere where art and community come alive.

The exhibition is thoughtfully curated around ten distinct thematic areas, allowing visitors to explore a broad spectrum of artistic voices and visions. From Identity & Culture to Social Justice & Activism, and from Afrofuturism & Fantasy to Urban Landscapes & Cityscapes, each space highlights unique styles and mediums. Additional themes such as Storytelling & Folklore, Nature & Environmental Reflections, and Experimental Innovations further showcase the depth and creativity of the participating artists. 

Featured artists will include Frank Frazier, Seidah Williams, Rhea Rose, Lakeem Wilson, Jerome Jones, Buchi Upjohn, Victor Hoover, Kaylynn Grayson, Carl Crawford, Don O’Bannon, Laura Lisa and La’Jasha Champion.

Throughout the event, guests can enjoy a variety of engaging activities and performances. Highlights include an opening reception, artist talks, hands-on workshops, and interactive installations. Live music and performances will fill the air, while local food and drink vendors serve up delicious Caribbean and Southern cuisine. With opportunities for community engagement and meaningful networking, this art experience is not only a celebration of talent but also a space for connection and cultural enrichment.
