The current exhibition, “Behind The Veil,” is a love letter to every woman that let a person, place or outdated ignorant idea make her think she was not good enough, pretty enough, feminine enough, docile enough to be worthy of the love & acceptance she deserves.

The artist, Candice Tavares, is a self-taught illustrator and wood artist born & raised outside of Philadelphia, PA. She was encouraged encouraged to experiment with different mediums during Saturday morning art classes and introduced woodworking while helping her dad build & fix furniture in his workshop. Her art is intended to remind Black people of their inherent beauty & value, and remind non-black viewers of their shared humanity with black & brown people through the common bonds of love, joy & longing.
