The Savannah Cultural Arts Center is set to host the 2025 Black Art Expo on February 1. The event will feature over 30 vendors, live performances, and food trucks.

This year's expo marks the third annual celebration, with artists presenting a variety of works including 2D art, jewelry, fiber pieces, photography, and prints. Performances in the Ben Tucker Theatre will include singing, dancing, instrumental music, and spoken word art throughout the day.

New additions to this year's expo include an opening ceremony for the Black Heritage Festival, Hip Hop dance workshops, and enhanced accessibility features such as braille programs and tactile maps for attendees with disabilities.

The event will run from noon to 4 p.m. and is free to attend. It is organized by the City of Savannah’s Cultural Resources Department under the leadership of Cultural Resources Assistant Tasheca Hutchinson.

“We are excited to celebrate the soul of Savannah once again by sticking to our mission,” Hutchinson stated. “We celebrate the rich and diverse spectrum of Black artistry in the Savannah community by providing artists and performers of various backgrounds and skill levels the opportunity to showcase their talents. We look forward to seeing the community come together, as in past years, to support our incredible local visual and performing artists.”

Representatives from organizations such as the African Arts Museum, Telfair Museums Friends of African American Art (FAAA), Savannah State University Art Department, and the City of Savannah Municipal Archives will be present to showcase local cultural history and resources.

Attendees can enjoy food offerings from vendors Wing N It and No Sauce BBQ, along with concessions from Sweet Soirees by Nicole and The Ashford Tea Company.
