“Black Testament,” features the most recent work of recent UCCS graduate Dáreece Walker. Using mixed media on found/recycled cardboard and wood, the exhibit deals with issues of the black human experience as it relates to contemporary America and its history.

Inspired by traditional Italian methods, Lapsley and Terrafranca bring together their work in an exhibition of high skill and technical prowess.
