Explore “Black Arts and Culture” in Gwinnett

(Lawrenceville, Ga., Feb 1, 2024) --- The 2024 Black History Month Exhibit will be open to the public for the entire month of February in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center Atrium.

This year’s theme, “Black Arts and Culture in Gwinnett,” centers around creators who have mastered their craft while illustrating the Black experience locally and nationally in the fields of art, fashion, and literature.

American Historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History started a local, weeklong observation in 1926. The celebration quickly gained popularity, and during the United States Bicentennial celebration of 1976, Black History Month was born.

The “Black Arts and Culture in Gwinnett” exhibit is open during regular business hours. The Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center is located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.
