NIA Centre, a nonprofit that aspires to become a nationally recognized African American Cultural Center that celebrates Black excellence, presents the "My Story 5" art exhibition featuring emerging Grand Rapids-based artist Esan Sommersell.
The free exhibition highlights the impact of prejudice, bigotry, racism, and negative stereotypes on African Americans' physical and mental well-being. My Story 5 is now through October 28, from 1-7 p.m., at the Muse Gallery.
NIA Centre's My Story event series sheds light on prevalent issues using art to tell stories. Sommersell is an emerging African-American artist acclaimed by art luminaries such as John McDonald and Paul Collins. His pieces tell narratives that underscore the importance of speaking out about pressing issues.
