Every meaningful journey has a moment of transition. In 2019, as Founder and producer of the Black History Month Art Show, I am not hosting the Black History Month event at Old Sugar Mill this season. It has been a true honor to build and produce what became one of the largest Black History Month Art events in Northern California, and to witness its growth and lasting impact.
What began as a vision to bring together and unify the Black community was rooted in promoting peace, harmony, education, and togetherness. My hope was to create a safe haven, even if just for one day, where we could learn, celebrate, and commune with one another in joy and purpose.
While this chapter is coming to a close, we are pausing for now and look forward to God’s direction for the future.
I am forever grateful to Barbara Range, Founding Partner, for being part of this journey with me, and to everyone who supported, participated in, and believed in this work. The memories, connections, and legacy created will always hold a special place in my heart.
With gratitude,
Rachelle Wiggins
