Collaboration: African
Diaspora Exhibition
The exhibition that unifies people through their artistic
spirit
collaboration:
(n) the act of working jointly.
Collaboration
started as a showcase of artists, presented in homes, businesses and other
alternative spaces allowing artwork to be viewed by clients in a realistic or
unusual environment. It allows the artists to intermingle with buyers one on
one and develop a personal relationship with the public at large
The
concept of visual artists of diverse spirits working together to spread art
appreciation in the community was the brain child of husband and wife artist
team Anthony Burks Sr. and Trina Slade-Burks of A.T.B. Fine Artists &
Designers LLC. along with jewelry artist and educator Lea Jefferson and fiber
artist and consultant Barbara Cheives. It is an opportunity for art collectors
and professionals to experience great art in inhabitable space and feel at home
doing so.
A.T.B. in partnership with The Armory Art Center ( at
1700 Parker Avenue, WPB, FL) is hosting a Harlem Renaissance-style art
exhibition showcasing 25 visual & 9 literary artists of African Diaspora.
The African Diaspora concept is based on the historical background of the
artists not necessarily the subject matter of the work.
