Join us for a special artists' talk centered around the relationship between Black art and Black resistance. A panel of local contemporary artists will discuss their work, what it is to be a Black artist today, and what their forms of resistance are as Black artists.

The discussion will feature the status of contemporary Black art and how the practice of art as a tool of resistance has evolved in America since the African Diaspora. Panel members include Unity Lewis, Michael Granville, TheArthur Wright, and BAMR The Artist, joined by panel moderator and Sonoma County metal artist Denise Ward.

This program is presented in partnership with Petaluma Blacks for Community Development. Learn more about their Black History Month event schedule at pbcd4us.com.

Tickets are $5 for members, $10 for non-members.

Light refreshments will be served outside after the event, weather permitting.

We recently broke ground on Sonoma County Stories, a permanent Sonoma County history exhibition. Agriculture and the environment are central to these stories, as they are for our community. This exhibition, scheduled to open in 2023, will capture Sonoma County's rich history, defined by a confluence of cultures and people and a powerful connection to the land.

The exhibition features stories representing the many diverse histories and cultures of the county, including founders and workers of the agricultural community. We hope that this exhibition will be a tool for current and future generations to come and learn the role agriculture plays in creating this beautiful place we call home, and how to preserve our bounty.

As part of our Annual Fund Drive, a portion of all donations will go towards the Sonoma County Stories exhibition. Through the month of December, your name will be added to the permanent list of donors to Sonoma County Stories for a contribution of any amount!
