We're featuring Password***** presented by AFH's 2024 Artist Fellows at our October Open Studio!

Password***** weaves together themes of internal discovery, community, and unfiltered curiosity, creating a dialogue about the power of redefining narratives and envisioning the future.

Five independent artists—Audrey Calhoun, Victoria “thirteenvic” DelValle, Dubem "CalvinKleinCaterpillar" Okafor, Taijai Slaughter, and Ananda Toulon—joined forces to amplify their voices, bridging traditional and digital realms while fostering career growth and creative innovation under the mentorship of entrepreneur and changemaker Christopher Hope, Founder of The Loop Lab. Learn more about our 2024 Artists Fellowship.

And you can get behind the scenes and hear more from our Artists Fellows at their Pre-Screening event filled with Directors' Cuts and a moderated Artists' Talk on October 25 from 6-8pm. Buy your tickets today!
