Creativie Legacies Linked

-
A historic meeting took place on Saturday, January 14, 2017, at MarVines Creative Arts Studio, where five artists gathered to discuss their legacy, the state of art, and the experiences of Black artists in America. From left to right: Sculptor Omar Shaheed, Photographer Ricardo Davenport, Artist Benjamin Marcus, Photojournalist Anthony Alden Vines, and Artist Ron Anderson.

"I was in awe of the creative magnitude of the artists sitting around the table. It was truly a powerful moment," one of the participants reflected. "Our goal is not only to network and organize our personal business affairs but also to establish an artist consortium. This group aims to mobilize and empower other artists through panel discussions, legacy building, estate management, group exhibits, workshops, and various support services."

The attendees acknowledged that they are not getting any younger, and they collectively expressed that their wisdom and knowledge could have a significant impact on the art world.

I stopped immediately what I was doing, picked up the phone, and called my mom. My nephew picked up the phone and said they found Uncle Marvin at his home unconscious and rushed him to the hospital. I knew the end was coming; he had been diagnosed six months ago with terminal lung cancer and fought a valiant battle to survive with dignity. He knew he would lose the battle, but he wanted to die a warrior. With honour and dignity, he didn't want to stretch out his impending death by having someone take care of him. He chose to die in control and the comfort of his home. I hung up the phone, composed myself and jumped in my car to make the two-hour ride to Toledo. God is great!
