Legacy Art Exhibit to feature a celebration of culture, history and music
Black music, art, and culture will be at the forefront of celebrating Black Heritage Month at the historic Connell House in Woodstock.
A unique event sponsored by G.L.A.M.P. Inc., the Legacy Art Exhibit, will take place on Feb. 19 and 20 and honour the accomplishments of Afro-Canadian, Caribbean, and African individuals.
Tanika Chambers, founder of G.H.A.M.P. Inc. and creator of E.X.H.A.L.E All Well-Being, encourages everyone to take in the exhibit to celebrate diversity and heritage.
“This event is open to all, regardless of racial background, as we believe in the power of unity and shared learning,” said Chalmers.
She explained that the Legacy Exhibit would serve as an enlightening platform for the younger generation, offering them a chance to learn about the rich history and significant achievements of people of African descent.
The exhibit, which is open both days from 4 to 7 p.m., features a musical performance by renowned pianist Robert Chambers.
“He will take us on a musical journey, playing an array of compositions by Black Jazz maestros,” said Tanika Chambers.
She noted that the Legacy Art Exhibit will be held at the esteemed Connell House, the home of the Carleton County Historical Society.
Admission will be by donation, making it accessible for everyone to participate and appreciate the contributions of Black heritage.
