Black Arts Legacies: Visual Art

The contributions of Black artists to the cultural landscape of the Seattle area are longstanding, vital and ongoing. The works of these artists — in literature, music, visual arts and performance — are worthy of recognition and examination.

Black Arts Legacies: Visual Art

Season 4 Episode 4 | 7m 51s | CC
