Washington, DC, August 08, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Art on the Vine (AOTV) is pleased to announce the
selection of 16 Black women to participate in The Convening. The day inspired by the fair's theme
“Implicit, By Us,” will feature conversations, presentations and reflections by Black women who create,
critique, live, love, laugh and protect an important nexus where Blackness, identity and creativity meet.
The Convening takes place at Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, MA on Monday, August 12th from
10am - 6pm.
Featuring a stellar mix of artists, scholars, curators and happenmakers, “this year's Convening will hold
space and give space for Black women's scholarship to be seen, their voices to be heard, and their lived
experiences to uplift all who bear witness,” says Jessica Stafford Davis, Founder of Art on the Vine and
The Agora Culture.
Art on the Vine is one of the first major multicultural events that focuses solely on emerging and
mid-career African-American artists and brings together art appreciators, collectors, up-and-coming
artists, institutions, and the merely curious for this cultural explosion. This event introduces attendees to
the next wave of important artists and provides access to their artwork before it becomes out of reach.
