The Arts Council of Southeast Missouri and South Side Farms, in collaboration with Afrocentric Arts LLC, would like to extend an invitation to the opening reception of Reflections. This exhibition includes artists from the 5-state region expressing the black experience through the eyes of the artist. From the cosmological origins of ancient Africa to the transcendence of black expression in the 21st century, this show asked artists to mine the interior landscape of their black experience in personal, cultural, and universal contexts.  This will also mark a return of visual arts experiences to the neighborhood, which boasts a history rich in the African American tradition. The show will take place at a former school, May Greene,  which was the educational foundation of many residents of the area, and has since been reclaimed by the South Side Farms non-profit foundation.
