National Black Arts Festival Showcases ‘NextGen’ Artists
Zikiya Kelly, a senior at Booker T. Washington High School, shows off some of her work created with the help of the NextGen Artist program.
This summer, Atlanta will host the 30th anniversary celebration of the National Black Arts Festival. Since its inception, the Festival has evolved to include year-round programming. And last year, they added more Youth Programs to their lineup.
