Just because we are practicing social distancing, doesn't mean we can't be social!

We understand how important community is, especially in time such as these.

With that said, we invite you to join us for a virtual movie experience TONIGHT Friday @ 6:45pm, as we will virtually host a watch party.
This weeks movie is: "HΘMΣCΘMING: A Film by @beyonce “

Our annual Black Art Matters Art Show and Fundrais

Our annual Black Art Matters Art Show and Fundraiser was beyond successful. The community support was definitely felt by both artist and us here at AJC, and the word thankful doesn’t do justice, but we will say it anyway...Thank You!
Without your continued support we wouldn’t be able to make important events like this happen. To all the artist, you are seen and we will continue to hold space for you.

A huge thank you to @bigmediumaustin for the space to host this event. To @stefonosae for keeping us grooving all night and setting the ambiance in the room, and to @montiniquemonroe for capturing the night. We really appreciate you all.

This is the third installment of "Black Art Matters", our annual art show & fundraiser.
