Photo Montage: Salon Series: Bruce Brice Retrospective

On Saturday, September 9, 2017, we were proud to present a celebration of the works of painter Bruce Brice. The opening reception also featured a performance by Will Smith and the Preservation All Stars. 

“I am an artist educating the masses. My goal is to teach…to enlighten others about the rich African-American experiences, culture, and traditions in this region. Through various mediums, I am able to link the past to the present and form positive visions of the future. When I culturally enhanced one’s knowledge then I know that my God-given talents are at work.” –Bruce Brice
