YOU ARE INVITED ✊?? BLACKNIFICENT Vol. 3 A Solo Exhibition & Retrospective by Ron Brown 20 Years of Vision. 20 Years of Truth. 20 Years of Becoming. Opening: Juneteenth — Friday, June 19, 2026, 5-9 pm ArT @ 967 Payne | 967 Payne Ave, St. Paul, MN — — — This is not just an art show. This is a reckoning. A celebration. A homecoming. For two decades, Ron Brown has created Afrocentric, hip-hop–infused, unapologetic work across canvas, wood furniture, and clothing. Blacknificent Vol. 3 honors that journey through three immersive chapters: ? Section I: The Living Room — Where We Gather The gallery transforms into a sacred Black living room — where hand-crafted furniture becomes testimony, and home is honored as the original site of resistance, culture, and inheritance. ? Section II: I Used 2 Love H.E.R. — An Ode to Hip-Hop A visual love letter to the culture. Bold, layered, graffiti-influenced canvases and wearable art explore hip-hop not just as music — but as philosophy, survival, protest, and poetry. ? Section III: Conversations with Wisdom — Communion with the Ancestors The exhibition becomes spiritual. African tribal visual language, ancestral symbolism, and afrofuturistic imagery converge in a sacred dialogue that bridges the ancient and the yet-to-come. Hip-hop provides the language. Jazz provides the improvisation. The art provides the evidence. And the question that will linger long after you leave: "If we know who we are… What are we going to build next?" — — — Join us on Juneteenth to experience this powerful retrospective.
