Onyx Fine Arts Collective: Appreciation Celebration, Let's Party!

Hello Onyx Family,

Wow! Twenty years and counting. Onyx Fine Arts Collective has indeed reached the 20-year milestone. It seems like we started yesterday. Our objective has been to showcase the artwork of artists from the African diaspora, which has been unwavering, and the need to improve communication in our communities through art has never been more apparent.

Therefore, after 20 years, we're pausing. Pausing to celebrate this wonderful achievement. Pausing to celebrate growing our list of artists from seven to over 800. Pausing to celebrate Gallery Onyx and our exhibiting artists. Pausing to celebrate our patrons who keep us going through their financial support and continuous participation. Pausing to celebrate the production of two major books, which document our artists and their artwork.

We invite you to join us at our 20th Milestone Appreciation Celebration as we pause to say thank you for your support. Space is limited, so please RSVP early. We look forward to celebrating with you soon.

Artfully yours,
Onyx Fine Arts Collective
