On Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality and justice. We celebrate the centuries of struggle, courage & hope that have brought us to this time of progress and possibility.
That work has been led throughout our history by abolitionists, educators, civil rights advocates and lawyers. Courageous activists and trade unionists, public officials, and everyday Americans who have helped make real the ideals of our founding documents for all.
Each one of us can do our part to make changes in how we contribute to creating a world that addresses our past race relations,
behaviors and attitudes.
Here at the gallery, we are leveling the playing field to balance representation of Black and Women artists.
We are making a conscious effort to represent multicultural, gender and LGBTQ communities. Not there yet, but we are working on it.
Which brings me to Pride Month, June...

To all of fathers and father figures out there, have a great celebration, we appreciate you...
All you need is love,
