Calling all visual artists for the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authoritys (EDDDA) Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition, to be held February 8, 2021 February 8, 2022, to be held virtually, as well as in the Connector at City Hall Artspace and outside on the adjacent public grounds of City Hall Park in Downtown Dearborn, MI.

Throughout history artists have been compelled to reveal and challenge the social conflicts that existed during their lifetimes which have left indelible impressions of change and progress. Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition continues that tradition by inviting artists to lend their visual voices to the issue of police violence and racial injustice and unrest in African American communities across the nation that has been sparked by the Black Lives Matter Movement.

This exhibition is one of a series of events developed by the EDDDA to address the broad impact of systemic racism in cities such as Dearborn where African Americans are not the majority population. It will comprise works from a variety of visual art mediums, in addition to educational programs, a series of artists talks and lectures.

EDDDA Board Chairperson Julia Kapilango remarks, I enjoy seeing artists of all mediums teaming up to produce such innovative and transformational experiences that match what our nation is feeling and thinking. I am grateful for our boards support and leadership.
