I Declare

The Worcester Center for Crafts’ Krikorian Gallery presents..
I DECLARE – Juried Art Exhibition sponsored by the Black Artist Collective of New England

In 2026, the United States will mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence – a historic milestone in the narrative of freedom. It will also commemorate the 100th anniversary of what would become Black History Month, a century-long acknowledgement of the voices, struggles, achievements, and perseverance of Black America. But what is freedom when it is delayed, denied or distorted?

As we approach this double edged moment in our natural history, we ask: What does freedom look like to Black America? Have we fully realized the American Dream, or does it remain a dream deferred?

JOIN US! Now through Feb. 28th
