About Sankofa Fine Art Plus
We believe in the power of African American art to revitalize and unify neighborhoods.
Sankofa Fine Art Plus
Sankofa Fine Art Plus is dedicated to developing public opportunities to showcase African American art and artists. We believe that African American art presents a rich, yet underutilized community resource for fostering local pride and supporting urban revitalization.
Through education and direct collaboration with communities, we help bring awareness to emerging and established artists, provide “art experiences” for the public, and raise awareness of and appreciation for the rich history and tradition of “fine ethnic art”.
