Art of the African Diaspora is the longest running event of its kind in the Bay Area. This year it brings together over 150 artists of African descent, showcasing their work at the Richmond Art Center, as well as in open studios and satellite exhibitions at thirty different venues across ten Bay Area cities.
Join us in NIAD's Galleries for our new June exhibitions! Artists and exhibition organizers will be on hand for a lively discussion in the galleries, and light refreshments will be served. Come browse the exhibitions and check out NIAD's art-filled studios.

This year NIAD is delighted to have works by seventeen NIAD artists in the Richmond Art Center's AOTAD exhibition, with satellite exhibition locations to be announced.
