Shades of Black WOV Art Reception

  • The Irma Freeman Center for Imagination 5006 Penn Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15224 (map)

The Irma Freeman Center for Imagination and Women of Visions presents Shades of Black.
This exhibition opening is a part of First Friday, Unblurred: Penn Ave's Monthly Gallery Crawl.

“Shades of Black unfolds a narrative that transcends the monochrome stereotypes of yesteryears. It is an ode to the myriad of hues within the spectrum of blackness, where each shade embodies a unique story and a distinctive journey.
“This exhibition is a testament to the vibrancy that arises from the diversity of our people. Just as colors multiply, so does the richness of our experiences and cultures. Each work of art represents a chapter in the epic saga of overcoming adversities and rising above the constraints of societal expectations.” ---Cynthia Kenderson, President Women of Visions
