ABOUT ONYX FINE ARTS COLLECTIVE

ONYX Fine Arts Collective is organized by the voluntary efforts of a group of artists and supporters committed to celebrate and promote the visual artwork of Pacific Northwest Artists of African descent.

Funding in past years had come principally from artist’s entry fees and grants. Recently however, Onyx has been encouraged by the support of local government, business leaders and private donors who realize the value brought to the community through such exhibits.

The mission of Onyx is to give greater visibility and opportunities to artists of African descent. For 15 years our annual fine art exhibits have showcased works by artists of African descent living in the Pacific Northwest communities.
