Join BlkArthouse at Eaton DC for the opening reception of the “What is Black Art” exhibition, which aims to create a dialogue about what “Black art” entails, what perspectives we project onto art by Black artists, and how Black artists view themselves and their artwork. The exhibition will host 19 pieces of artwork by 19 different artists in categories of original paintings, digital works, and photography.

The event will feature a cash bar and a night of social gathering and mingling in celebration of Black art and artists. Following the premiere event, the exhibition will be available as a weekend pop-up at the Eaton until June 27, and thereafter, will be available for viewing at the Eaton until July 10 by appointment-only.

The exhibition and all artwork contained therein will also be available through BlkArthouse’s virtual exhibition space. The virtual exhibition will launch June 26 and contain a virtual gallery, as well as a dedicated webpage to purchase artwork and view photos and videos of the art and exhibition.

BlkArthouse is a mission-driven art enterprise focused on connecting consumers to Black artists and increasing representation and access to the global art market.
