Artist talks, art walks, community workshops and virtual events — bringing collectors, artists and art lovers together across the globe.
Diaspora Fine Art presents Living Legacy, a group exhibition opening during Juneteenth Weekend in Tampa, Florida. The exhibition features the works of Noland Anderson, Kamil Peters, and Meclina Gomes, three alumni of the James Weldon Johnson Artist Residency whose practices span painting, mixed media, and the ongoing conversation between African and diaspora experience. Their work is grounded in a shared conviction: that art is an assertion of identity, culture, and lived experience.
James Weldon Johnson was a poet, civil rights leader, and one of the defining voices of the Harlem Renaissance. He believed that Black art carried the full weight of Black humanity. Living Legacy asks what it means to carry that weight forward, and what these three artists have to say about freedom, visibility, and cultural memory in 2026.
The opening weekend runs June 18–21 at the AC Hotel Tampa Airport, featuring a curated exhibition of 15 to 25 works alongside four days of programming. Exhibition viewing on the hotel's public walls continues June 22–30 at no charge.
VIP Preview: June 18 · Public Opening: June 19 · Free wall viewing continues June 22–30
