"Born of Her" Art Exhibition and Benefit

We invite you to our home to experience a powerful and intimate evening of art, community, and purpose. Join us for a special exhibition featuring the work of a renowned artist whose work centers on the experiences, resilience, and beauty of Black motherhood.

This curated collection of artwork sheds light on the urgent issues surrounding Black maternal health in America—an area in critical need of awareness, advocacy, and support. Each piece offers a stirring exploration of identity, legacy, and healing through the lens of the artist.

All artwork will be available for purchase, with proceeds going to support both the artist and the Maternal Health Fund at Penn State, which is dedicated to improving health outcomes for Black mothers and birthing people.

Whether you are an art enthusiast, a supporter of maternal health equity, or someone looking to engage in meaningful change, this event is an opportunity to connect, learn, and invest in a vital cause.
