ONYX FINE ARTS COLLECTIVE

The Onyx Fine Arts Collective is the newly named organization that grew out of the Northwest African American Fine Art Association (NAAFA). When Robert Horton and Annie Hudson-McKnight founded NAAFA in 2005, they dreamed of creating an event that would give greater visibility to the work created by African American artists. Their dream became a reality and for five years the annual fine art exhibit has showcased works by artists of African descent. Recently however, NAAFA has grown into a larger organization. Horton has been joined by a group of volunteers and a dedicated organizing committee to facilitate the the annual event. Our new name and logo exemplify this change.

The new identity further enhances our increasing presence in the Northwest and beyond. The properties of Onyx, a black gem stone that represents positive energy, guards against negativity, fortifies self-confidence and sharpens the senses, further inspires us to develop and grow professionally.

The mission of Onyx is the same as that of NAAFA. We continue to encourage, support, promote and bring greater visibility and opportunities to artists of African decent.

The success of Onyx is the direct result of generous support from you, the Seattle and greater Pacific Northwest communities. We would appreciate your continued assistance and look forward to your presence as we continue developing in our relationship as artists, arts patrons and supporters.

Organizing committee members are: Robert Horton, Al Doggett, Esther Ervin, Sharon Geraci, Charlotte Hudson, Chaz Lindsey, DeAnna Martin, Ashby Reed, Earnest Thomas, and Carletta Carrington Wilson.
