The evening begins with a panel discussion at Blackfish Gallery (938 NW Everett St) from 5:30–7:00 PM, featuring participating artists and community leaders in conversation about the importance of investing in contemporary Black artists and creative practice.

About the Exhibit Curated by Tammy Jo Wilson, Co-Founder of Art in Oregon, since its inception in 2020, BLACK MATTER showcases contemporary work by Oregon-based Black artists, offering space for artists to express what is in their hearts and minds, free from the expectation that their work must be about race or racism.
