The Arlington Public Library is once again stepping up to celebrate Black History Month by highlighting local Black artists and creators. An announcement that underscores the library's commitment to community engagement and cultural celebration invites artists to submit their works for a public showcase. Art pieces that echo the rich tapestry of Black culture and experience are particularly encouraged.

As part of the Black History Month Reception: Artist Reception, slated for February 22, local artists over 17 can display their talents through various art forms—"drawings, paintings, photos, fashion, and other works of art" as cited in the social media post by Arlington Public Library.

The Facebook announcement, posted in early February, provides prospective participants with necessary details, including a submission link where artists can submit their work for consideration. The intervention is not just timely; it resonates with Arlington's broader aspirations towards inclusivity and cultural acknowledgment.
