This year the exhibition committee reached as far as Jacksonville to interest and support Floridian artists of African Descent. There was a strong move to attract new talent of emerging artists at the college level. The results are extremely exciting to imagine new talent being nurtured in the State of Florida and to have these talented artists exhibit in the Suncoast. In essence we have created a “social movement” to engage new talent in Black artists.
This outreach developed collaborations with colleges in Tampa, Saint Petersburg, and Sarasota/Manatee.
Manasota ASALH Members Robert Fitzgerald and Bernard Watson appear on WEDU in connection with the airing of the “Veterans of Color” DVD in November of 2015. The hour-long film explores the untold stories of African American men and women who served in all branches of the US military. For more info click here.
