Bloom Art Walk returns on November 26th.
Community is stronger when we celebrate inspiration, it’s like polished gold, each particle shining bright. We are celebrating Gold Friday on the South Block of North Franklin because as we really examine the previous traditions of the day after what some people refer to as “Thanksgiving” we can do better. So instead of breaking down doors and trying to get a discount on a TV, let’s celebrate artists, independent makers, and have a ceremony of music and creativity, and also, let’s celebrate minority businesses and artists who are underrepresented in our communities.

Beyond Words:
Artists Detour (Denver, CO), NNeka Jones (Tampa, FL), Christopher “Cooli Ras” Clark (Jacksonville, FL) exhibit in this group show that displays a range of African diaspora. This exhibit walks the viewer through a journey of the human form where beauty exists beyond words, in a world in which underrepresented artists cannot remain silent. The exhibit examines the ways in which words are paired with the shared human experience to change a collective or individual perspective, based on how the truth of history is re-shaping social and cultural identity.
