The juried art exhibition is open to the public and is free with general admission to the Museum.

The Black Creativity juried art exhibition provides a showcase for the original works of professional and amateur African-American artists. Each year, a distinguished jury selects winning entries in the categories of ceramics, drawings, mixed medium, paintings, photography, sculpture and textiles. This year, more than 300 entries were submitted and 100 were chosen for display. Up to $6,000 in prize money is presented to artists for outstanding work.
