Green Book of Tampa Bay kicks off a month of Juneteenth-related events with “Poetic Justice,” a multifaceted showcase that’s part of a month-long “Black excellence” exhibit at Studio@620 on display until the end of June.

This Juneteenth-themed event features visual art, poetry readings and live music from local, Green Book-affiliated artists like Anthony Williams, Eb and Floww, Miesha Brundridge and Zulu Painter, alongside many, many more.

“Though we are constantly grieving, we still search for joy and for freedom,” Green Book writes about its Studio 620 exhibit. “Art is a form of expression that allows for these feelings.”

In addition to promoting Black-owned businesses, the local nonprofit also advocates for local Black artists and cultural sites.

Green Book Tampa Bay’s “Poetic Justice” art show opens at St. Petersburg’s Studio@620 on Friday, June 9 and runs through June 30. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
