R.A.N Tip of the Week! Support Local Emerging Talent at The Black Artisans Marketplace

February 1st marked the first day of Black History Month in the US. It’s a time for reflection and celebration for the many contributions from African Americans. I’m grateful that my role as Curator of The Black Artisans Marketplace at the Black History Month: Celebrating Unsung Community Service Leaders allows me to share with you some of the talented Black artisans who are a part of this commemorative Black History Month celebration. This event is hosted by and in collaboration with the African American Community and JCC Beacon Program at I.S. 49 on Thursday, February 27, 2020 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm at Berta A. Dreyfus I.S. 49, 101 Warren St, SI, NY 10304. Discover artwork, crochet & knitwear, fashion, jewelry, beauty products and delicious foods that focus on this rich heritage and shine a light on emerging talent from our local community.
