Black Creativity Juried Art Exhibition

See dynamic works from professional and amateur Black artists from around the country.

Immerse yourself in art

This longest-running exhibition of African American art has been displayed annually at Griffin MSI since 1970. Black Creativity Juried Art Exhibition features paintings, drawings, fine art prints, sculpture, mixed-media, ceramics and photography by Black Americans, including youth artists between the ages of 14 and 17. Work is submitted in the fall, and a panel of jurors select the pieces for exhibition. A youth component also offers opportunities for high school students to submit their art work to the exhibition.

This exhibition opens in early 2026 and is included in General Admission.
