Art Noire Presents: A Living Memory

In its fifth year, Art Noire returns with A Living Memory—a reflection on where we began and how the work continues.

Five years ago, during Art Noire’s first year, Black Life as Subject Matter II was presented in the galleries. Its presence again this year is intentional, marking a full-circle moment that honors legacy, continuity, and the ongoing power of Black life as subject and record.

Saturday opens the gallery for an art-forward kickback at the Springfield Museum of Art. Guests are free to move through the exhibition at their own pace, with guided tours offered throughout the evening for added context around the artists and the work. A DJ sets the tone, with light bites available and a cash bar throughout the night.

Come to connect and experience the work.
Dress how you do best.

Art. Culture. Presence.
