Urban Art Collective
“THE CROWN”
"The Crown" Art Exhibition primarily features the Women of the Urban Art Collective, which holds significance as it showcases the talent and perspectives of women in the urban art scene. "The Crown" serves to celebrate the contributions of Latonia Dishueme-Bangudi, Shakyrah Hightower, and Johnetta Knight highlighting their artistic talents. The Urban Art Collective provides a platform for their work to be recognized and appreciated. Additionally, "The Crown" exhibition promotes diversity and inclusion within the art world, challenging traditional narratives and expanding the representation of artists from diverse backgrounds.
Also included in the exhibition is, "The Crown: The Rarest Jewels" created by Dr. Abeni El-Amin and Andrew Cohen. This is more than just a painting; it's a tribute to the beauty and strength that resides within every individual. Inspired by the multifaceted nature of royalty and the preciousness of rare jewels, this piece embodies the essence of empowerment and self-discovery. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, "The Crown: The Rarest Jewels" symbolizes the resilience and majesty of the human spirit. Through this painting, we invite you to embrace your true self and wear your crown with pride. For within you lie the rarest of jewels, waiting to be discovered and cherished by the world.
The Urban Art Collective designs culturally relevant programming that reflects the cultural heritage and lived experiences of diverse communities. By centering the voices and narratives of underrepresented groups, the Urban Art Collective fosters a sense of belonging and validation for individuals who may feel marginalized or excluded from mainstream cultural institutions. Through these intentional efforts, the Urban Art Collective aims to dismantle systemic barriers and create a more equitable and inclusive cultural landscape, where individuals of all backgrounds have equal opportunities to engage with and contribute to the arts

Bird Series:
This collection of twelve birds reflect time spent in nature. Often in my youth my Mother would take us hiking and camping, we would spend time watching and learning the birds. The playful, stoic, and resilient personalities were captured in my memory along with brilliant and interesting arrangements of feathers. They now represent cherished time spent with others and the delight we can find in observation of feathered friends.
Parasite Series:
This series of five human parasites and invasive flowering plants represent the deception and beauty around us. Often we can be lured into relationships, habits, and experiences that are toxic and dangerously deceiving only to have long term consequences.
