The 3rd annual International Black Arts Festival Sponsored by Echo Gallery returns to the Union Station in Washington, D. C. February 22nd through 24th, 2002.  Artists and craftspeople from all over the world will gather to exhibit and sell museum-quality original fine art, which will encompass modern and contemporary paintings, sculpture, glass, original jewelry, functional art and objects.  

The International Black Arts Festival continues to grow  in numbers as we remain committed to giving the Washington metro area our best of African and African American artisans and craft people.  Like last year, we will  also have artisans from Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Niger, Zimbabwe, and other places in the Diaspora.  The entire Main Hall of the Union Station is transformed into an immense contemporary art gallery, including numerous sculpture placements in the main entrances and pathways.

The program will include a number of prominent guest speakers and awards will be given to several artists and art organizations.  There will be lots of entertainment and fun for the whole family.  Free Admission .

For exhibit space and general information contact Barbara Queen at Echo Gallery 202-842-8400 or long distance call 1-800-950-3932
