Please join us for the Grand Opening of Devotion, a powerful exhibit of paintings by Jonathan Harris with murals by the School of Jon Onye Lockard. Harris (1988-) and Lockard (1932-2015), both native Detroiters, span generations and time, but their art engages in similar topics of current events and the issues of the African Diaspora.
Devotion denotes great passion and commitment. Jonathan Harris and Jon Onye Lockard present visual art with immense talent borne by a deep dedication to portraying the Black experience in meaningful ways. Using vibrant colors and powerful themes, the two artists have attained reputations for their commanding styles of painting that reveal their incredible imaginations.
Light refreshments will be served.
