The Civil Arts Project: Art With a Purpose

The Civil Arts Project is influenced by the Harlem Renaissance.

During the Harlem Renaissance, Black Art was a major source in defining the struggle
and aspirations of the Civil Rights Movement. Black Art had a dual purpose of not only
to entertain and intrigue, but also to inform and educate.

I believe all art is purposeful, whether intended or not, but the Civil Art Project
has a specific purpose: to help start America’s healing process through
real conversations.

The Civil Art Project deals with race in America, the cause and effect.  Some of the works include replicas of government documents or memorabilia from the specific eras. The titles of the pieces set the narrative while  the images present the story
