Artist Opportunity
STILL I RISE (2027) • ART CALL
Still I Rise celebrates the enduring spirit, resilience, and visionary power of Black creativity. Rooted in the experiences and cultural legacies of the past, this exhibition explores how Black artists continue to redefine narratives, challenge boundaries, and imagine new possibilities. Through the intersection of history, identity, and Afrofuturism, Still I Rise invites works that honor our collective journey while envisioning the future of Black art, culture, and expression. NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS until Dec. 30, 2026.
Event
Once Upon A Time In Harlem • Film Screening
Once Upon a Time in Harlem—a film Variety calls a “once-in-a-lifetime party.” This is more than a documentary. It’s a cultural time capsule, a gathering of voices, and a celebration of the people who were actually there. On Friday, November 27th—the day after Thanksgiving—we’re making it personal. 21 Dreams, Ouida Washington, and Joseph Trimble are joining forces for an afternoon of conversation, local art, and community connection at the 4 PM screening. The film and program is free with RSVP!
