Dear Community,

We regret to inform you that the 1st Annual Black Art Exhibition Fundraiser, hosted by The Empowerment Project Inc., will be postponed due to the low levels of interest demonstrated by our intended audience. This decision has not been made lightly, as we are dedicated to showcasing and celebrating the rich tapestry of Black culture and artistry.

Our commitment to our mission is unwavering, and for this reason, we believe it is essential to reschedule the exhibition for a time when the community is as passionate about this important endeavor as we are. It is our hope that by postponing the event, we can ensure that it receives the recognition and attention it truly deserves.

For those of you who have already shown support by purchasing tickets, we offer our sincerest gratitude for your enthusiasm and belief in our project. These gestures of support do not go unnoticed, and as a courtesy, we will be initiating full refunds for all advanced ticket sales. Our team will be in touch with each ticket holder to ensure a smooth refund process.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are grateful for your understanding. The Empowerment Project remains dedicated to the promotion and advancement of Black art, and we will work diligently to ensure the success of this exhibition in the future.

Please stay tuned for updates and announcements regarding a new date for the 1st Annual Black Art Exhibition, as we continue to encourage and seek the earnest engagement of our community.

Sincerest Gratitude,

Tanyka L. Lawrence
Executive Director/Founder
The Empowerment Project Inc.

It has been brought to the attention of The Empowerment Project that most artists are “starving artists” and cannot afford the registration fee. The Empowerment Project will waive the registration fee for any artist from any genre that registers for free on the website NLT May 22, 2024. Since we are waiving the fee, the first 30 artists will be the only artists for The Empowerment Project’s 1st Annual Black Art Exhibition. Location TBD until we know how many artists will register now that the registration fee has been waived. Register at theempowermentprojectinc-va.org beginning May 1, 2024 thru May 22, 2024.
The Exhibition will start promptly at 11am so artists should arrive by 10am for set up.
