The Lewis Award for Arts & Culture presented by Hampton Art Lovers and One United Bank is dedicated to the Artist, Scholar, and Educator, Dr. Samella Lewis (Hampton Institute '45).

"Art is not a luxury as many people think – it is a necessity. It documents history – it helps educate people and stores knowledge for generations to come." - Dr. Samella Lewis

The Award honors Contemporary Artists who embody the Spirit of Dr. Lewis. Through their art, commitment to education, and celebration of African-American History, they carry forward Dr. Lewis's legacy, inspiring future generations of artists, educators, and art historians. (INVITE ONLY EVENT)

Last week at Miami Art Basel. This day was enlightening for me, observing the work of all the talented, brave people made me realize I have been a coward. I have always wanted to share my artsy/crafty creations, display them, share them, sale them…. but I’m too afraid of harsh judgement. But why? Art is an expression of ourselves, if people love it, great! It they hate it, good too. We should make art because we love art, because we enjoy the process, arts or crafts or the act of being creative makes us happy, despite of what others may think of feel. So I’m done being a coward!
