The 20th Annual National Black Arts Festival

Every year, I attempt to attend at least one cultural event sponsored by the National Black Arts Festival. Held annually during the last two weeks in July, the festival celebrated 20 years this month.

According to nbaf.org, the National Black Arts Festival (NBAF), a non-profit cultural institution based in Atlanta, Georgia, celebrates the contributions of people of African descent and their impact on world cultures. The mission of NBAF is to engage, cultivate and educate diverse audiences about the arts and culture of the African Diaspora and provide opportunities for artistic and creative expression

If you missed this year’s artist gallery, you missed a real treat.
