Artist Chauncy Williams said the Saturday night event was a good way for the artists to mingle and learn about each other’s work.

“The meet and greet is essential to me because it allows the artists and viewers to connect and converse about the art. It’s also an exciting time to meet people and fellowship,” Williams said. “I was thrilled about this opportunity not only to display but to learn and converse about other cultures as well.”

Williams explained his exhibit is a reflection of his own personal sketchbook.

“I consider my exhibit space four pages of my personal sketchbook,” he said. “You will find a lot of personal notes, thoughts, paintings and drawings of people that have been influential in my personal culture.”
