Nia Centre for the Arts, Toronto

Join us at Nia Centre for the second edition of A Black Art Fair, the only event in Toronto dedicated to the sale and exhibition of artworks made exclusively by local Black talent! Featuring over 50 artworks by more than 27 visual artists from across Canada and the African diaspora, A Black Art Fair will be showcasing work that spans textile, photography, painting, and sculpture. Together, these artists are asserting their own singular, personal visions of Blackness in all its glory, engaging ideas around beauty, surrealism, home, Afrofuturism, and more.

A Black Art Fair is a chance to mingle with artists from your community, shop breathtaking artwork for your personal collection, network with a robust arts community, and celebrate Black artistic expression in Canada. Works will be priced for all budgets.
