About this Event

About this event

Join us on February 21st from 5–8PM for Black & White, a night that brings together art, poetry, and live music from Bay Area creators. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a community space to connect, reflect, and celebrate Black History Month through creativity and conversation.

You’ll find powerful photography, bold paintings, and moving performances that tell stories of truth, identity, and beauty. We’ll have small bites, good people, and a mix of energy and intention that reminds us what we’re building together.

Every ticket supports Justice Vanguard’s work with youth, educators, and storytellers—helping the next generation find their voice and use it for change.


What to Expect

Art in Contrast
Photography and paintings exploring what Black & White really means.

🎤 Live Poetry & Music
Poets and singers sharing words that move, heal, and challenge us to think deeper.

🍴 Small Bites & Community
Come hungry for food, wine, and connection. Enjoy light bites and conversation with artists and community members.

💡 Purpose & Impact
This night fuels real work—funding Justice Vanguard programs that give young people the tools and confidence to lead.


💛 Support the Work

This event is free and open to everyone, but we’re asking for a suggested donation of $10 to help us keep doing the work that matters. Every dollar supports Justice Vanguard’s youth leadership, education, and storytelling programs—the same programs that help young people find their voice, create change, and preserve our stories for the future.

Whether you donate or simply show up and share space with us, your presence makes a real difference.
