AAMARP

More than 75 Black art lovers gathered last month at AAMARP, the African American Master Artists-in-Residency Program, for an artist roundtable with the theme, “Black Art in Afro-Centric Spaces,” the second in the Banner [Virtual] Art Gallery Roundtable series.

On Thursday, May 30, the Bay State Banner and the African American Master Artists-in-Residency Program will present “Black Art in Afro-Centric Spaces,” part of the Banner [Virtual] Art Gallery Roundtable series, starting at 7 p.m. at 76 Atherton St. in Jamaica Plain.

Before finding its home in Jamaica Plain about two decades ago, the African American Master Artists-in-Residency Program was housed in a factory building on Leon Street and later moved to a space on Huntington Avenue.

After a period of quiet and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and program negotiations, AAMARP welcomes the public into their studio space for the exhibition “Resurgence: Homage to the Ancestors of the African Diaspora.”
