The Riverside Arts Center's Ypsi Fine Arts Club is hosting its fourth annual Black Artist Exhibition in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The show, which opened on January 16, 2026, features original works across painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, fiber, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. Its theme is 'Unity,' though artists were not required to adhere to it. The exhibition runs through February 28, 2026, in the center's North Gallery.
The exhibition is a significant local cultural event, organized in collaboration with the African American Cultural and Historical Museum of Washtenaw County and the historic Palm Leaf Club. It honors Martin Luther King Jr. Day and local figures Ronnie and Gloria Peterson, while providing a dedicated platform for Black artists in the community. The show is part of an ongoing series of exhibitions by the Ypsi Fine Arts Club, which also has a members' exhibition scheduled for March, reinforcing the center's role in supporting regional artists and preserving local African American history and culture.
