Nicole Mauré Coleman, Black creative and activist
Jen Carey Davis, artist and community leader
Gloria Hall, historic preservationist and cultural arts presenter
William Thompson, artist

How does Black art matter? What does contemporary art mean to Black artists, educators, and leaders? What does it mean to be part of the Black artistic diaspora? Join us to hear an informal conversation on these questions, and learn more from some of this city’s Black artists and arts leaders.
This Worcester-based conversation is the first of a four-part speaker series hosted by ArtsWorcester. The series amplifies Black voices in contemporary art to broaden understandings of Black art history, visual vocabularies, and experiences within the visual art industry.
