Colors of Culture: A Celebration of Black Creativity is a youth-led Black History Month art exhibit spotlighting the voice and vision of young artists ages 13–24. Hosted at the Marshall J. Gardner Art Center (540 S. Lake St., Gary, IN), the exhibit runs February 6 – March 13, inviting the community to experience artwork that reflects identity, heritage, resilience, and imagination across disciplines.
The exhibit opens with a high-energy Opening Night Celebration on Friday, February 6 (6:00–8:00 PM)—an evening dedicated to honoring our young creatives and uplifting the power of youth expression. Guests can expect an inspiring lineup of performances and experiences, including poetry, live art, the premiere of two short films, and special featured performances by the Charter School of the Dunes Drumline and Majorette Team. The celebration will also include food, music, and a cash bar, creating a joyful space where families, supporters, and community members can celebrate these emerging artists.
