Synthia St. James, Charles Bibbs

Synthia SAINT JAMES is a world renowned multicultural visual artist, award-winning author and or illustrator of 17 children’s books, authored an autobiographical art marketing book, 3 poetry books, a book of affirmations, and a cookbook. She is most celebrated for designing the first Kwanzaa Stamp for the United States Postal Service in 1997, for which she received a History Maker Award, and for the international cover art for Terry McMillan’s book Waiting to Exhale.

Charles Bibbs is a contemporary visual artist entrepreneur and philanthropist. His work is featured in museums, galleries, organizations, and homes of many collectors, displays a deep sense of Spirituality, Majesty, Dignity, Strength, and Grace in his images, that is done in a combination of realistic and larger-than-life interpretations of contemporary subjects that are ethnically rooted.

Every picture tells a story…we've all heard that. But does it? Does every photo need to tell a story?

On Saturday, May 13th (1-5 p.m.,) featured photographer Robin George will host a closing party and general discussion of conveying emotion vs. storytelling in photography. Join us, and be part of the conversation exploring topics such as "Is photography art," and "Is digital manipulation still photography?"

Light refreshments will be served.
