Photo gallery Black History Month art event
In celebration of Black History Month, an ArtSpin outreach event gave participants the chance to create art in the style of American contemporary painter and silhouette artist Kara Walker. Students and community members wielded paintbrushes at the event in the Chazen Museum of Art on Feb. 9. Walker’s art often addresses the history of American slavery and racism.
