Please join us for the Arts to End Violence Gallery Party on May 23rd at Ron Taylor Gallery and Greater Restoration Baptist Church 1160 & 1156 St. Johns between Kingston and Albany. Join your neighbors and peers to appreciate and think about the art that has been produced for this initiative. There will be food, refreshments, live music, and it will be a great opportunity to engage with the many artists (young and old, novice and professional) who are part of this initiatve.

The above photograph is entitled ”What now ?” and it represents 2 warring gang members seated at a chess table with pieces that are both black, making it impossible to play the game. This image is my way of saying to gang members that Black on Black violence must end.
