Richmond Parks and Rec will present an African-American art exhibit, showcasing the work of more than 30 artists, in the Spotlight Gallery at North Richmond’s Pine Camp Arts and Community Center from February 3 through March 28. Each piece in the exhibit, titled “Friends and Mentors,” will be accompanied by an artist’s statement describing the influence of friends and mentors on their work as an artist.
The department also will host a forum at Pine Camp on “What Influences African-American Artists” on Sunday, February 3, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Additional artwork from the “Friends and Mentors” artists will be the basis for discussion among the artists, the audience and the moderator to examine the role and source of influences on African-American artists.
“Friends and Mentors” will open the same day, Feb. 3, with a reception and live music from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The events are free and open to the public.
