Call for Art: 2018 Black Arts and Cultural Festival

As part of Albany's Black Arts and Cultural Festival, Albany Center Gallery will showcase the work of local and regional artists from within a 100-mile radius on Saturday, August 4 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

ACG will highlight visual art inspired by and celebrating black heritage and culture. From global to national to local, African American arts are a source of great influence. ACG will be presenting unique works of art during the festival. From painting and drawing to photography and sculpture, submissions of artwork inspired by black arts and culture can be submitted for consideration to ACG's open Call for Art.
