The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to the North Shore Black Artist Group Show

The Northshore Black Artist Group (NBAG) is dedicated to connecting, promoting, and supporting artists. The organization includes visual, performing, literary and media arts. Our mission is to create platforms for artists to showcase their work, encourage creative expression and innovation. NBAG will serve as a community hub, bringing people together for shared experiences and fostering a sense of belonging.

The 2024 Northshore Black Artist Group show is our first exhibition featuring the work of multiple artists, showcasing a diverse range of styles, mediums, and themes. This premier exhibition, generously hosted by the Evanston Arts Center, provides NBAG an opportunity to introduce the group to the Evanston, Chicagoland and North Shore communities. We are excited to exhibit this group of artists and look forward to creating a stepping stone for emerging and established artists to gain visibility. We believe that the arts offer something for everyone. The Northshore Black Artist Group hopes to spark conversation, offer diverse artistic expressions, support cultural heritage, and enrich lives.

Northshore Black Artist Group Show will be exhibited in the Hallway Gallery of the Art Center. The opening reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.

Evanston Art Center, a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, is dedicated to fostering the appreciation and expression of the arts among diverse audiences. The Art Center offers extensive and innovative instruction in broad areas of artistic endeavor through classes, exhibitions, interactive arts activities, and community outreach initiatives.
