Come out for the opening of the First Annual Black August Arts Show, co-sponsored by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM). This year’s art show and auction will benefit political prisoners and prisoners of war in the United States. There will be live music, live painting, and artists with work available via silent auction as a fundraiser.
The Black August Art Show program examines themes of the African struggle, resistance, Bl…ack August, and Hip-Hop. The Show will also have a special focus on Haiti. By using these concepts, this project provides venues for literary, visual and performance artists to create art, to engage in conversations about the impact of their art on society, and to raise societal awareness of the use of art as a tool for liberation. More importantly, it will help raise funds for political prisoners across the United States.
