BOYNTON BEACH — On Sunday, the city of Boynton Beach will host its first “Say It Loud” Art Exhibition in celebration of Black History Month.
The exhibition will feature musical and visual artists, including headliner and award-nominated R&B artist Ambré. Other creatives include spoken word artist Bertrand Boyd and visual artists Tierra Armstrong, Tracy Guiteau, and Harold Caudio, showcasing artwork inspired by the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012.
According to the city’s website, “Say It Loud” aims to celebrate and showcase “Black culture and artistry through performances, interactive exhibits, panel discussions and immersive experiences” in honor of Black History Month.
“We are such a diverse community here in Boynton Beach; there’s a lot of history here … We didn’t want to do the same old presentation. We wanted to do something a little bit different that was multigenerational; we wanted to connect the past to the present,” said Kelly Armstead, Boynton Beach’s director of arts and culture. “We want to bring the community together through good music and through good artistry.”
Full of conversation and history, “Say It Loud” will feature various DJ’s, art installations, and vendors. The Arts and Culture Center hopes to bring residents together and show its support for the local community by featuring artists who got their start right here at home — in Palm Beach County.
“‘Say It Loud’ is an evening filled with unique visual artworks and live music, honoring our past and celebrating our future,” Armstead said. “Whatever you want to ‘say it loud’ about, this is the perfect time.”
The art exhibition will take place at the Boynton Beach Arts and Cultural Center from 4 to 9 p.m. A panel discussion with featured artists begins at 5 p.m. General admission tickets are $25.
