Pull up to our biggest Artist Commune of the year hosted by Urban Arts Space’s artist-in-residence, Arris' J. Cohen. Inspired by music and community, come and express yourself through different mediums of art making with free art materials and an immersive journey through Hip Hop with DJ O SHARP as you enjoy free food.

Arris’ will present his curated exhibition “Mimesis” and the inspiration behind his art in the MLK Lounge at the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center. You will also be able to present your work in an artist showcase and talk about where your art comes from—where you come from.
