AARJ Black History Month Art Competition
The Avondale Alliance for Racial Justice’s Second Annual Student Black History Month Art Contest is soliciting art submissions and sponsors. Check out the amazing art that was submitted in 2021 and 2022. More great stuff to come from 2023’s artists!
We invite you to support our youth in sharing their artistic visions with us all. The art contest theme is "Fighting Black Oppression: Celebrating Change-Makers” Students are asked to reflect on the many sources of strength that have sustained Black Americans throughout history and today.
