Conversations on Black Art, Community and Legacy

Join us for a VIRTUAL visual arts series throughout the month of April. Each week, the BMRC will host conversations with Chicago arts organizations and artists who amplify the city's dynamic Black art and artists. This series is curated by BMRC Executive Director, Marcia Walker-McWilliams and BMRC Student Intern, Viviana Jimenez and supported by funding from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
