🌞🫂 Community Works, in collaboration with @rjoyoakland, attended the Black and Brown Comix Arts Festival at the Yerba Buena Gardens. It was a beautiful Monday spent in community, where we all came together to recognize, and uplift Black and Brown artists in the Bay Area!
The celebration appropriately fell on MLK Jr. Day - who dedicated his life to service, and championing for the rights of the Black community.
We want to give a HUGE thank you to @bcafcon for hosting such a joyful event! 🎨
