“The health and well-being of our Festival patrons is our greatest concern,” says Board Chair  Dr. Amuwo. “Recognizing the restrictions that COVID-19 is placing on all of us we wanted to share our rich archive of performances both locally and worldwide, while also showcasing some live performances. ”

Art always plays a key role in the AFA, and this year’s Festival artwork is particularly important as the world is experiencing a racial justice reckoning ignited by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The mission for the event is to create inspiring works of art that support equality and show that Black Lives Matter.  Keithley and his group of artists have painted over 50 buildings to date, mostly on the city’s south and west sides.
