#onyxgallery

One of the significant highlights of my time in Seattle was visiting this Black owned and managed art gallery: Onyx Fine Arts Collective. It’s located in the city’s posh downtown. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with love, excitement and gratitude by the President and Vice President, Mr. Ernie and Mr. Ashby respectively. We had an inspirational and supportive exchange over vino. Looking forward to building with them sooner than later. If you’re in Seattle, I not only highly recommend this inviting and inclusive space, it will be an enriching and interactive experience. #fctalk #freedomclay #onyxfineartscollective #galleryonyx #onyxgallery #thisisseattle (at Gallery Onyx) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3YFmFYB4dL/?igshid=nf0dypitqq49

(Sonnet 132 from entrance of Onyx Gallery) Thine eyes I love, and they, as pitying me, Knowing thy heart torments me with disdain, Have put on black and loving mourners be, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain. And truly not the morning sun of heaven Better becomes the grey cheeks of the east, Nor that full star that ushers in the even, Doth half that glory to the sober west, As those two mourning eyes become thy face: O, let it then as well beseem thy heart To mourn for me, since mourning doth thee grace, And suit thy pity like in every part. Then will I swear beauty herself is black And all they foul that thy complexion lack. http://ift.tt/1RRtS9d
