Empowered by the Ancestors and enlisted by the powers to be, Black Market and a group of COMMUNITY CREATIVES have been tapped to take-over the blighted lot (across from the Haley House next to Black Market) for an ARTS + HEALING Festival!
This is an opportunity for us to enliven and activate a space that has been vacant for over 50 years in the center of Dudley Square, Roxbury!
Join us for the ART + HEALING TAKE-OVER! Change the VISUAL + SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION of our community by participating in this incredible event!
