CELEBRATING THE BLACK EXPERIENCE Traveling Exhibit 2025

The Celebrating the Black Experience exhibit celebrates the contributions of people of African descent through the visual arts, celebrates the rich legacy of Black artists, and highlights the transformative impact of Black art in our struggle against oppression and racism.

Artists were invited to submit works that reflect the diverse environments and traditions contributing to the fabric of the Black experience. Underrepresented imagery expressing joy, sorrow, love, creativity and truth-telling is examined within the Black aesthetic.

The annual exhibit is presented by the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage. Through a partnership with the Kentucky Arts Council, participating artists have allowed their works to travel across the commonwealth from July to December 2025.
