Community Tour | 'Black Every Day' with Arlo Maverick

Join us for the September edition of our Community Tour Series which invites a new speaker each month to lead a tour of a current exhibition, giving our audience a unique perspective on the artwork on display. This month we are thrilled to welcome local Hip-Hop Artist Arlo Maverick to lead a virtual tour of the exhibition Black Every Day curated by Darren W. Jordan. This exhibition marks the 15th anniversary of 5 Artists 1 Love, an organization dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of Edmonton's African Canadian communities.

Arlo Maverick is an Edmonton based hip-hop MC whose sound explores Jazz, Electro, and Soul yet identifies itself as hip-hop through fusing nuances of hip-hop’s golden era and Jazz theory. Lyrically Arlo Maverick’s music is a poetic narration of everyday life experiences. His recent song “Black Everyday” inspired the title for this recent exhibition. See the video here.

For this tour you can join us in the gallery or online. If joining us in person this community tour is included in admission to the AGA.

#AGAlive is presented by the EPCOR Heart + Soul Fund and the Canada Council for the Arts.
