In this month's newsletter we tell you about Ankeli Christopher, an emerging artist out of Nigeria. His work is colorful and whimsical. We know you're going to love him!
We also share with you some of our recent interior decoration projects and we look back at some really cool events that were held at the gallery this past month.
Lastly, don't forget about our 1st Annual Art Supply Drive benefitting my alma mater, Jack Yates High School. It is my hope that we can all come together to support arts education for one of the most important historically black high schools in the city.
All my best,
Lloyd
