Nubiana: Open-Air Gallery & Black-Owned Marketplace

October 2nd, 1-6 pm

Nubiana is an open-air Gallery and Black-Owned Marketplace powered by Black Market and hosted on the Blair Lot behind Black Market July-Oct 2021!

Come to Nubiana and experience a variety of work ranging from emerging artists to internationally recognized professionals. The self-guided Nubiana tour will include work by muralists, photographers, illustrators, fashion designers, African artisans and florists.

“Artist at Work” allows patrons and visitors to engage with artists, enjoy live demos, and purchase art at each event. Learn about the creative process and what steps an artist takes to bring ideas from concept to completion.

Whether you're treating yourself to a new piece for your home, trying to find a cool graffiti-splattered jacket or searching for that perfect artistic backdrop for your Zoom meetings, Nubiana will have it.

Engage in the Nubiana Auction and invest in amazing works for your lobby at your Non-profit, Corporation, Restaurant or Educational institution. Enjoy our Young, Gifted and Black Gallery for youth with art kit activities led by the Museum of Fine Arts Monica Garcia. Come with the audacity to create in our Freestyle corner with paints provided by AOA Supply.

Nubiana is a one-stop art destination for all things local and beautiful.

The arts portions of the development will be done in consultation with neighboring establishments Nubian Gallery and The Black Market. Kai Grant, an owner of The Black Market and co-developer of Nubian Ascends, has long been attracting and sponsoring local artists in the area. Her latest addition to the community – right on the Blair Lot – is a showcase of the arts community Nubian Ascends will continue to nurture: Nubiana.
