NAAM Black History Month Series Presents

The Black Art Takeover

The FIRST-EVER Black Art Takeover is in the books! With over 400 people in attendance, we are inspired by the way the community showed up for each other and celebrated the creatives in our communities who capture the modern Black experience in the Pacific Northwest through their work.

The Black Art Takeover featured 7 artists in the Art Walk and on panels, 3 Black directors as part of the Scope Screenings pop-up, and the artist studio powered by WayOut Kids. The Black Art Takeover was a space to spotlight artists who make sure the power and emotion of Black stories is captured, seen, and celebrated!

Check out the featured artists and our partners down below!
