About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

I’m excited to present "When Roots Run Deep" an immersive artist showcase and art exhibition designed to celebrate the intimate stories of local QTBIPOC artists centered on themes of rebirth, growth and transformation. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity for the community to delve into the power of storytelling through vibrant visual and literary arts.


From August 8th to August 28th, 2025, The Harbor Place will transform into a sanctuary of creativity and connection. Attendees will not only engage with remarkable artworks but will also experience a rich sensory environment enhanced by ambient sounds, music, spoken word, and delectable food.

We are excited to kick off this exhibition with a bang. Come celebrate with us as we unveil a collection that honors personal truths, empowerment and rebirth. This is a special occasion that you won't want to miss. Get ready for a night filled with art, music, love and culture.

Don't forget to join us at the Artist Talk and Closng Ceremony! Between those days you can reach out to schedule a gallery walk through if interested in purchasing one of the local artist's artworks. If you'd like a particular artist to be present please notify me prior to scheduling.
