Virtual Artist Talk & Gallery Tour via Zoom:

Exhibition Format

This is a 3D virtual gallery international show, making it accessible to locals and artists from all countries, engendering cross-cultural appreciation, and facilitating international friendship. We want a truly global representation of artistic voices and perspectives, transcending geographical and racial boundaries. 

 

Theme: "Competence"

The United States of America will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. For Black History Month 2025, we exhibit works relating to competence as it relates to independence. We cannot be truly independent without realizing competence. What does "Independence" mean to the artist in relation to competence?
