State Black Art Exhibit
The Black Art Exhibit showcases incredible works of art from artists who express their culture by highlighting their unique stories through a vast array of art forms including photography and painting. Starting from its initiation in 2003, the Black Art Exhibit was a partnership between the Rhode Island Department of Administration Human Resources Outreach and Diversity (HROD) Office and the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society (RIBHS). This collaboration with RIBHS continued for several years, during which the Atrium Gallery attracted and featured the works of talented artists from the Black community. Since 2009, through the contributions of the Community Arts Program at RISCA, the Black Art Exhibit has expanded to include additional art mediums and groups. RISCA is grateful to partner with local organizations as well as individual artists, while celebrating the talents and artistic gifts from communities of color.
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts is a state agency supported by appropriations from the Rhode Island General Assembly and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. RISCA provides grants, technical assistance and staff support to arts organizations and artists, schools, community centers, social service organizations and local governments to bring the arts into the lives of Rhode Islanders.
