Through Friday, April 24, 2026, enjoy the stories of perseverance in Creative Art Philadelphia’s latest exhibit to honor African Americans, My Skin is Black. The show was launched this month as part of the Art in City Hall program’s Black History Month celebration. Explore mixed-media fiber art by 19 Black female artists. The presentation is an expression of first-person narratives and pays tribute to the preservation of cultural legacy. The exhibit title is inspired by Nina Simone’s 1966 song, Four Women. According to the promotional literature: “The exhibit explores the intersecting burdens of race and gender and acknowledges the still relevant political climate and historical challenges faced by Black women artists.” The show is curated by award-winning poet and artist, Debra Powell-Wright.
Free, weekdays 10 a.m. EST to 4 p.m. EST.
