In celebration of Black History Month:
Today as we celebrate the beautiful artistic achievements of Black Americans, learning and appreciating Black history has never been more accessible. Here are just some fantastic free virtual events we have been enjoying or looking out for this month. My personal favorite is the Obsidian Experience. It is a must see, just click on the link to be transported to an incredible virtual tour of the house.
Is anyone else just as much mesmerized by the beauty of Black Artists and Designers at work here as we are?
