The Silent Renaissance 


West Palm Beach- The Box Gallery presents The Silent Renaissance :African American Millennial's Art a one day celebration of work by four outstanding visionaries in Palm Beach County. The Silent Renaissance : African American Millennial's Art opens with a reception on Saturday, November 18, 2018 at 7 pm. 

Spotlighting the work of Ashlee Sanford, Kevin Lawson, Nixy Allison, and Chris Bivins. The four artists are leaving an indelible mark on the Palm Beach Art Scene through their contributions to our community. 

Kevin Lawson's photographs taken while travelling through Europe will soon be part of a part of the first international travel guide for African Americans. Kevin's resolve to accomplish his goal included selling many personal possessions afford his initial trips throughout Europe.

Chris Bivins owner of Krish Kulah Photography is also a self started and entrepreneur who creates "beats" for musicians throughout the area and has recently launched a private photojournalism with garnered him a press pass without affiliation to any main stream news agency.
Artists and creatives Ashlee Sanford and Nixy Allison are concentrating on two distinct aspects of African American history esthetics and the impact of propaganda imagery .

The Silent Renaissance:
Much has changed since time period where African Americans gained their rise in status and found their place and role in American society. This is significant time, known as The Harlem Renaissance, marked a period in history where African Americans were able to identify their own accomplishments and the notable people within American society. Today the African American Millennials are leading the way in communities throughout our country and abroad.

A Silent Renaissance is now occurring among the young adults of the African American Millennial Generation.

The context of millennial, while defined by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies is quite different for the African American Millennial at least in one particular area ; that of overeducated and underemployed. The African American Millennial has concentrated on entrepreneurship and solving the unemployment issues facing them. 




The Box Gallery a 4,000 square feet multi-media exhibition space that will serve the art community and art patrons with world class exhibitions, projections, performance art, and installation art. The Box Gallery is located in the heart of the West Palm Beach "Cultural Corridor" just 2 blocks east of I95 exit 69.
