Nigerian artist Jimo Buraimoh, says the October Gallery, is a "highly influential artist whose work developed out of the so-called 'Oshogbo School' and who is important as the first artist to begin to use beads to compose the vibrant colour blocks of his work." Catch Buraimoh at the first NW La Black Arts Fest Saturday and Sunday.
See also dance, poetry, art demonstrations, music ranging from the New Dimensions Brass Quartet (Sun, 3 pm) to a Bobby Blue Bland concert (Sun, 8 pm) at the free festival. Most entertainment will take place at Mainstage, corner of Milam and Elvis Presley Blvd. Displays and artists will be inside the Municipal Auditorium, says producer Bill Scott. There will be a Buraimoh installation at Scott's Kuumba Gallery on Texas St near the courthouse.
The 2-day event is produced by Achievement Through Art, Inc.
