Perseverance Theatre will host a month-long digital art exhibit to highlight Black artists across the state for a project they’re calling Black Alaskan Art Matters. The show, which is still being developed, will feature the work of more than 10 Black Alaskan artists as well as panel discussions and artist interviews.
“There’s a gap in representation when it comes to Black artists and Black art spaces,” said Fairbanks-based artist Alyssa Quintyne in an interview with the Empire.
Quintyne said as an artist she had never participated in or been to art shows highlighting specifically Black artists, and that one of the goals of the show is to strengthen ties between Black artists in a state in which they may be separated by thousands of miles.
