ST. PETERSBURG — The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American History Museum is presenting Reverberations, a special exhibition featuring Black artists from Tampa Bay and the Southeastern United States, opening on Juneteenth at the James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art.
The exhibition was curated by Desmond Clark, co-owner of St. Cate Fine Arts. The show brings together work that speaks to the full range of the Black experience — from the realities of systemic racism to expressions of resilience and hope.
