Celebrate Black History Month and prepare for Women’s History Month (March) by spending a day exploring the works of African American visual and performing artists at The Truth Gallery. Organized by Odes Roberts, CEO of OROBS Fine Arts, Expressions of Femininity Art Exhibition: A Day of Arts and Culture will showcase the work of four Ohio black women artists: Alecia Robinson and Alice Grace of Toledo and Nora Musa and April Sunami of Columbus.
The art on display illustrates the experiences of these mature women artists who incorporate the Black experience in their work with African motifs, geometric patterns, groups of women, and vibrant colors. Alecia Robinson, a Toledo resident who brings bold, colorful work to her canvas, says, “My art is an expression of a touch of enjoyment and entertainment within.”
Alice Grace, also from Toledo, uses her art as a form of self-expression and therapy. “Painting takes me out of chaos and monotony, into a state of well being. It’s my passion. I enjoy the reaction from those with an opportunity to experience my inner joy,” said Grace.
Roberts was motivated to organize this celebration because of a lack of regional appreciation and artist access for the four women. “Unfortunately, most artists lack access and opportunities to showcase their works. OROBS Fine Arts helps advance the arts and arts education in our community,” said Roberts. The exhibit opening will serve acs a full day, free community event for families and children, featuring mixed media art, music, spoken word, a DJ, dancing and hands-on activities.
