“Sweet as the moment, when art went, pop!” – A.L.D.

Black art is more than creativity—it is a living archive of memory, resistance, and vision. That’s why ART | Library DECO is proud to launch Shelves of Resistance: Building a Living Archive of Black Art & Culture, a virtual fundraiser and cultural celebration.

📅 Saturday, October 25, 2025
⏰ 10 AM – NOON CST
💻 Virtual on Zoom

This inaugural event will raise $600 to secure 501(c)(3) nonprofit status by December 2025, ensuring that ART | Library DECO continues to thrive as a digital African American art research library, gallery, and community sanctuary.
