Bronzeville Center for the Arts (BCA) in Milwaukee opened Building Bronzeville: Milwaukee's Black Arts Movement at Gallery 507, celebrating the artists, activists, and cultural workers who made Milwaukee an important regional center of the global Black Arts Movement between 1967 and 1981. The exhibition features paintings and screenprints alongside magazines, flyers, and archival material documenting the era. Pigment International founder Patricia Andrews-Keenan visited BCA to tour the exhibition and attend a pre-opening dinner celebrating the launch. BCA is also a featured advertiser in Issue VI of Pigment International Magazine.
