Who We Are

Erika L. Mixon
Co- Founder
"FBAC is important to me because art is the sign language of the soul. It speaks when words cannot be found. It empowers , connects, enlightens, and inspires. And there's no other community or culture in the Birmingham & surrounding areas that need a dedicated space to be celebrated artistically & express their journey more than black people"
