The Fresh Perspective series plans to give black men in Milwaukee a chance to stage art shows and sell their work. Its coordinators strive to break down stereotypes against black men that say “they can’t do that.” The first Fresh Perspective show was on Feb. 6 and 7 at 2200 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in the Bronzeville district.

    Good afternoon ALHAJI CAMARA,

    My name is Angela Thompson and I am contacting you on behalf of the CityCenter @ 735 in regards to Gallery Night @ Day this April. I was wondering if you knew of any artists interested in displaying their art at our gallery?

      This article was published two years ago, and Mr. Camara is no longer with Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service. You may want to try to contact the artists directly.
