About this Event

HBCU Night!

Join us for HBCU Night! Whether you’re repping your alma mater or simply celebrating the culture, you won’t want to miss out! Mingle and reunite with HBCU alumni surrounded by artwork reflecting the African Diaspora.

VIBES is a gathering of artists from The African Diaspora that honors the role of creative expression as a tool for reflection, reckoning, and repair in the present moment. In a time marked by uncertainty, rapid change, and social strain, the artists featured in this exhibition return us to something steady: the discipline of craft, the patience of process, and the power of making with intention. Their work resists disposability and distraction, offering instead care, skill, memory, and vision as acts of grounding and resilience.

Curated by Mimi Wolford, VIBES invites viewers to slow down, feel deeply, and engage with art not as escape, but as a meaningful way of understanding where we are—and imagining where we might go next, together…
