Visual and musical artists will celebrate Black Music Month Sunday, June 7, at the Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin.

The Community Artists’ Collective and the Community Music Center of Houston are collaborating with an exhibit entitled “Music Is My Sanctuary,” in the Dupree Room and a concert honoring Dr. Anne Lundy, the late Dr. Ruth Stewart,Ina Zellars and Dr. Gloria Quinlan, four women whose work reminds us that music is not only performed; it is taught, carried, remembered and passed on.

Artists featured in the exhibition, which is open from 2 to 4 p.m., include Catherine Martinez, Kaima Marie Akarue, Corey DeJuan Sherrad, Jr., Israel McCloud, Robert Hodge and Jazz Historian Tierney Malone, who curated the exhibition with Michelle Barnes, founder and executive director of The Collective.

“The title “Music Is My Sanctuary” is taken from the song and album by saxophonist Gary Bartz,” Malone said.

“The song lyrics reflect the power of music,” he explained, “and the artists in the exhibition are expressing their connection to Black music as catalyst and inspiration in their lives and artistic practice.”

The art exhibition is from 2 to 4 p.m. and will be on display through June 27. The Legacy Honoree Celebration and Concert, featuring a performance by the Firey String Sisters, is from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the ballroom.

The Firey String Sisters of New York City, who are making their Texas debut, consist of three women who infuse Jazz with world music, global funk and soul to create a unique sound for violin, cello, bass, piano, vocals and percussion.

Attendance to the art exhibition is FREE, and the concert is a pay-what-you-can event.
