Thursday, January 30th, 2025
The Savannah Cultural Arts Center (SCAC) will host the 2025 Black Art Expo on Saturday, Feb. 1, featuring over 30 vendors, live performances, and food trucks.
This year’s event marks the third annual celebration, showcasing artists offering 2D art, jewelry, fiber pieces, photography, prints, and more. Performances in the Ben Tucker Theatre will include singing, dancing, instrumental music, and spoken word art throughout the day.
New to the Expo this year are an opening ceremony for the Black Heritage Festival, Hip Hop dance workshops, and improved accessibility for attendees with disabilities, including braille programs and tactile maps.
The Expo will take place from noon to 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The event is organized by the City of Savannah’s Cultural Resources Department, led by Cultural Resources Assistant Tasheca Hutchinson.
“We are excited to celebrate the soul of Savannah once again by sticking to our mission,” Hutchinson said. “We celebrate the rich and diverse spectrum of Black artistry in the Savannah community by providing artists and performers of various backgrounds and skill levels the opportunity to showcase their talents. We look forward to seeing the community come together, as in past years, to support our incredible local visual and performing artists.”
Representatives from the African Arts Museum, Telfair Museums Friends of African American Art (FAAA), Savannah State University Art Department, and the City of Savannah Municipal Archives will also showcase local cultural history and resources.
Attendees can enjoy food from vendors Wing N It and No Sauce BBQ, along with concessions from Sweet Soirees by Nicole and The Ashford Tea Company.
