The Sankofa Black Art Expo is back!

And this one has a little history behind it. The original Sankofa Fine Art Expo ran in Cleveland from 2001-2011, bringing Black artists, collectors, and art lovers together. Now, 15 years later, it’s coming back to Shaker Square during Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival!!

And Jerome White is coming full circle with it. Jerome was part of the original Expo and is the featured artist for its 2026 return. A painter, muralist, and longtime Cleveland art educator, his work has always been rooted in storytelling, community, and Black life.

SEPT 18-20 • SHAKER SQUARE • CLEVELAND FREE admission • Open to the public

Come see the art. Meet the artists. Bring somebody with you.
