Event Alert! Black Creativity 2020: The Juried Art Exhibition

January 27, 2020 by Chi@glance Leave a Comment

Black History Month starts this week and what better way to start the celebration than at the 37th annual Black Creativity Gala. This past Saturday attendee’s gathered to raise money to support the Museum of Science and Industry annual Black Creativity program and its events, which pays tribute to the culture, heritage, and scientific contributions of African Americans and help motivate youth in science, technology, engineering, art and medicine.

This year marked the 50th anniversary of the Black Creativity program at MSI, which began in collaboration with the Chicago Defender. The Gala is among a robust calendar of experiences and events throughout Black History Month. “The Black Creativity Gala has been a part of MSI for decades, providing this impactful program support for the next generation of innovators,” said David Mosena, president and CEO of MSI.
