Immerse yourself in art

This longest continually 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.

This exhibition is included in General Admission and is open through April 19, 2026.
