The Black Woman is Art Exhibition
Join us in celebrating our second year of The Black Woman is Art Exhibition!
"The Black Woman is Art: A Celebration of Emotions" is an exhibition that showcases the depths of black women's emotions through various mediums of photography and modeling.
Each model embodies a unique emotional experience, ranging from sadness and depression to frustration and overwhelm, as well as serenity, peace, freedom of movement, rage, and anger. These feelings reflect stages of vulnerability, illustrating the beauty of being your authentic self while navigating life. It is through these expressions that we liberate ourselves and embrace the depth of our relationship with our feelings.
The phrase "The Black Woman is Art" serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty and uniqueness that every woman possesses. It is a living testament to resilience, beauty, and emotional authenticity. Join us on the First Friday of April for a walk-through gallery experience filled with performances, live painting, and light fare.
Please Note: ENTRY FEES FOR DONORS ARE FREE. All other guests are required to purchase a ticket.
Same day ticket purchases are allowed up until 30 minutes before the event ends.

Hand-building with Zara Bronwyn Davis
This hand-building ceramics class is perfect for beginners. In this structured class, you will learn the 3 basic hand-building techniques of making pinch-pots, slab-building and coil building. For students with more experience, you may work more independently. (This is class does not teach throwing on the wheel.)
Zara Bronwyn Davis is a ceramic and fine artist, working and teaching in Rochester New York. She graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2019 with a BFA in ceramics. Zara was a Flower City Arts Center resident artist for three years, where she refined her skills and developed her current body of work. During 2020 she also began a small jewelry business, selling hand-painted ceramic jewelry locally (Shop One RIT and the Memorial Art Gallery) and online.
Zara has incorporated her love of painting, drawing, jewelry and fiber arts into her wider ceramics practice. Her work is intricate, detail oriented and aimed at showing the sumptuous nature of the body and strength of femininity. Recently, she has delved into the intersection between history, religion, storytelling and mythology – more specifically, the fascinating and frustrating portrayal of women in these domains.
Since graduating, Zara has taught a variety of classes and ages, enjoying the range of creativity and ingenuity each offer. Being multidisciplinary, Zara has taught an array of classes in ceramics, jewelry and mixed media. She especially enjoys encouraging and showing students how to incorporate multiple mediums to create pieces that are wholly unique. You may view Zara’s work on instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/zarabronwyn_/
Price includes 25lbs. of clay, dipping and brushing glazes, and firings. (Additional clay is available for purchase for $20/25lbs.)

SYNOPSIS:
A Folktale, set in Chicago in1930 during the Depression, this comedic farce is the story of 5 "upstanding church ladies" who raise funds to send young Black women to college by holding bake sales and the like. Their latest beneficiary, Tracy Ada, has more ambitious ideas. She wants them all to rob a bank! Of course, the ladies are reluctant to do anything that drastic; that is until they are turned down at the bank for a loan to send another young woman to college because the White bank manager doesn't think "colored girls" need an education.
