February is national Black history Month and an important month of both remembrance, recognition, and education. It is a time for people of any color to look at the incredible figures in Black History, as well as raising awareness about the issues that are still present in society in terms of racism and the rights that  Black people are affected by, and it is a great opportunity for people from all walks of life to broaden their horizons and expand their understanding.

Stop by and enjoy music and a glass of wine or hot apple cider. Explore our themed galleries of artwork:

“Resolutions” featuring work reflecting tenacity, determination, spirit

“Frozen” with work featuring ice and snow
