Artists Featured for Black History Month

In celebration of Black History Month (February), AEF is highlighting seven African American visual artists and one poet who are participants in our Art Changes program. All eight artists made short videos where they explained (and sometimes demonstrated) their work. Each visual artist video is accompanied by an art activity video made by two film students of color. The poetry video is accompanied by an instructional PDF slideshow.

Here’s the list of artists with a description of their video.
