Emancipation Through Art: Voices, Stories, and Celebration

Artists Zoe Grant and Paul Diaz

I’m a little late in posting this, but I couldn’t let the moment pass without celebrating the winners of the Halton Black History Awareness Society’s 8th Annual Emancipation Art Exhibition.

A heartfelt thank you to journalist Mansoor Tanweer of Halton Hills Today for coming out to support our event once again and for capturing the heart of the exhibition in his article: Georgetown Exhibition Celebrates Black Artists. You can read it here.

I also want to extend my gratitude to curator Kara and her team, whose exceptional work in the installation brought the exhibition to life. Their thoughtful presentation allowed each piece to shine while weaving together a collective story of Emancipation and resilience.

This exhibition has always been more than just art on the walls. It’s really about the voices, stories, and truths expressed through creativity. Each piece invites us to pause, reflect, and connect with the legacy of Emancipation while celebrating the resilience and brilliance of Black artists.

We’re now into the final two weeks of this year’s exhibition, and I truly hope you’ll make time to see it. Step into the gallery, take in the art, and allow yourself to experience the conversations these works are meant to spark.

With Love & Encouragement
