Roscoe B Thicke
Photographer, visual artist, community advocate, veteran and father of three, Roscoè B. Thické III was born and raised in Miami, Florida. After graduating high school, Thické enlisted in the US Army to embark on a journey of exploration and transformation. The army provided Thické with the opportunity to see the world via his travels, but it would be a volunteer based photography class in South Korea, that would take Thické from amateur explorer of culture and customs, to the intentional, stirring, and impressive images we see of his work today. Thické pursued his passion for visual arts by studying photography and design at Broward College. His work is centered around the resilience of spirit, affliction of memory, and the art in “seeing”, as recognized in his exhibited work at The Bass Museum and The Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, Fla. Thické received the 2021 Ellies Creator award and is currently an artist-in-residence at Oolite Arts.

Chire Regans VantaBlack
The Invisible Black Woman series includes responses to the question “Tell me of a time when you were made to feel invisible?” My goal with this series is to address the commonality amongst women of color grom a variety of different socio-economic backgrounds, being made to feel invisible. I want to render their moments of invisibility, visible.
Purvis Young
As a teenager, Young served three years (1961–64) in prison at North Florida's Raiford State Penitentiary[6] for breaking and entering. While in prison he would regain his interest in art and began drawing and studying art books.[4] When released, he began to produce thousands of small drawings, which he kept in shopping carts and later glued into discarded books and magazines that he found on the streets.[7] He proceeded to move into the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.[8] Young became attracted to a vacant alley called Goodbread Alley, which was named after the Jamaican bakeries that once occupied the street; he started living there in 1971.[7][9]

Derrick Adams
Derrick Adams is a Baltimore-born, Brooklyn, New York-based artist whose critically admired work spans painting, collage, sculpture, performance, video, and sound installations. His multidisciplinary practice engages the ways in which individuals’ ideals, aspirations, and personae become attached to specific objects, colors, textures, symbols, and ideologies. His work probes the influence of popular culture on the formation of self-image, and the relationship between man and monument as they coexist and embody one another. Adams is also deeply immersed in questions of how African American experiences intersect with art history, American iconography, and consumerism. Most notably in his Floater series, he portrays Black Americans at leisure, positing that respite itself is a political act when embraced by black communities. The radicality of this position has materialized in Adams’ work across his Deconstruction Worker, Figure in the Urban Landscape, and Beauty World series.
