Black Artist Showcase

Black Artist Showcase at Jamestown Settlement
Event Details:

Black Artist Showcase at Jamestown Settlement is connecting the past and present through vivid intersections of contemporary art and 17th-century history.  The showcase will be open the month of February 1 – March 2.

Guided by the theme – “the beauty of our lives” – Virginia-based artists present original interpretations and reflections of family, faith, music and social justice.

Jamestown Settlement showcases the cultural legacies of West Central Africans brought to Virginia in the 17th century through immersive gallery exhibits, films and education programs.

Black History Month programs culminate on February 22 with “After Angelo,” a special afternoon event named for one of the first African women in Jamestown, celebrating modern African American life and culture through art, performance and community conversation.

Residents of James City County, York County and the City of Williamsburg enjoy free admission every day at Jamestown Settlement & the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. More information and ticketing
