July Artwalk at MW Gallery

Join us for live performances by “Kevin Collins’ African/Jazz Trio” and special guests from “Kuungana African Dance & Drum Company” and enjoy light refreshments during Flint ARTWALK on July 12, 2019 from 6 – 9 PM. The July ARTWALK will be the last to feature the current exhibit, “African Art Now!”, which will close July 27, 2019. ARTWALK is a free community event, occurring on the second Friday of each month in downtown Flint.

Our current exhibit, “African Art Now!” features an array of dynamic artworks made between 1949 and 2018 by artists who defy our expectations of African art. The exhibit includes drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, and video from the Mott-Warsh Collection, by emerging and leading artists, such as El Anatsui, Omar Victor Diop, Seydou Keita, Zaneli Muholi, Wangechi Mutu, Toyin Odutola, and Yinka Shonibare CBE. These contemporary artists explore a variety of artistic approaches, materials, and themes to create artworks influenced by personal and communal interests, and global events.

Visit “African Art Now!” at MW Gallery to see compelling artworks that continue the legacy of Africa’s rich tradition of artistic expression.
