Onyx Fine Arts Collective

ONYX FINE ARTS COLLECTIVE

The Onyx Fine Arts Collective grew out of the now defunct Northwest African American Fine Art Association (NAAFA). It's mission is to give greater visibility and opportunities to artists of African descent. For seven years the annual fine art exhibit has showcased works by artists of African descent.

Our new identity serves to further enhance our increasing presence in the Northwest and beyond. The properties of Onyx, a black gem stone that represents positive energy, guards against negativity, fortifies self-confidence and sharpens the senses, further inspires us to develop and grow professionally.

The success of Onyx is the direct result of generous support from you, the Seattle and greater Pacific Northwest communities. We would appreciate your continued assistance and look forward to your presence as we continue developing in our relationship as artists, arts patrons and supporters.

Organizing committee members are: Al Doggett, Esther Ervin, Sharon Geraci, Robert Horton, Chaz Lindsey, Ashby Reed, Earnest Thomas, Carol Williams and Carletta Carrington Wilson.
