Our Employee Resource Group, the Diversity Alliance, was pleased to host Claudia Volpe, Director and Curator for the Petrucci Family Foundation , in our offices recently for an event on the impact of Black art in American history. In addition to discussing the Foundation’s mission, Claudia showed us some pieces from the collection and shared stories about the artists behind the work. The Diversity Alliance also organized a guided tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibit, “The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism,” for 40 employees where they learned about Black artists who were involved in Harlem Renaissance and the comprehensive ways that they portrayed everyday modern life. Thank you to the Petrucci Family Foundation and The Metropolitan Museum of Art for these opportunities to learn more about Black artists.

CEO at PAR | Passionate about People, Performance, and Purpose Transforming Lives Through Insights | Global Leader in Assessments | Innovating Talent Solutions
The 2024 theme for Black History Month this February is: "African Americans and the Arts" spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. The Smithsonian Institution has a wide-range of events happening, arts resources, and even podcasts and virtual exhibits. One vitual exhibit is called Making a Way Out of No Way and it asks: How do you make a way out of no way? For generations, African Americans worked collectively to survive and thrive in the midst of racial oppression. Through education, religious institutions, businesses, the press, and organizations, Black men and women created ways to serve and strengthen their communities. They established networks of mutual support, cultivated leadership, and improved social and economic opportunities. They also developed a tradition of activism that paved the way for broader social change. Take a closer look at this exhibit: https://lnkd.in/eTuSVYFz All month long, The Smithsonian showcases new exhibitions with impact from Black Americans on visual arts, music, culture.

February is Black History Month and the theme for 2024 is African Americans and the Arts. From the Association for the Study of African American Life and History: "African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary, and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world. In 2024, we examine the varied history and life of African American arts and artisans." This February, there will be a series of online and in-person events planned to celebrate and share Black wellness, art, literature, music, and community at CRC and across the Los Rios colleges. https://bit.ly/3u6paoV

Today is the first day of Black History Month, an annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans and a time to honor their legacy in U.S. history and society. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Since then, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The theme for 2024, “African Americans and the Arts,” explores the influence Black Americans have had in the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, film, music, and more.
