Dare Coulter’s art is a space for joy and reflection. She is an internationally award-winning sculptor, muralist, and illustrator who focuses primarily on depictions of black families and people. Dare creates imagery that reflects the fullness and vibrancy of the black cultural experience. She most recently won the Coretta Scott King Book award for her illustrations in Kwame Alexander’s “An American Story,” and is pursuing her dream of creating monumental sculptures to black joy all over the world.

Save the Date! Thursday October 23 beginning at 5 pm in 1220 Jenkins, juror Dare Coulter will give an artists’ talk, followed by an announcement of award winners and a reception in the Gray Gallery. Please join us! This event is free and open to the public.
