Southwest Black Fine Art Show (SWBFA) is coming to the African American Museum in Dallas, TX. The SWBFA Show will attract artists, collectors, educators, curators and families from all over the country. The SWBFA Show was envisioned to present a quality experience for artists, collectors, galleries, educators, fine art professionals, and anyone interested in black fine art. The SWBFA Show is committed to the exclusive presentation of original art produced by artists of African and African-American descent. Our goal is to make this show a destination point where collectors come to find quality black art.

Come on out! Frank Sowells' booth will be in the West room on the 2nd floor.

The Southwest Black Fine Art Show will also present a series of workshops for those interested in becoming collectors, but may not know exactly what to look or when viewing a work of art. The Show will feature presentations by seasoned collectors, scholars and gallery owners. In addition, there will be hands-on activities for families
and children throughout the weekend.
