WILLIS BING DAVIS - REACH HIGH & REACH BACK

On Wednesday, September 24, we will host a FREE screening of WILLIS BING DAVIS - REACH HIGH & REACH BACK! Sponsored by Twentig, Inc, this screening will be FREE and open to the public.

"Few people have impacted the arts in Southwest Ohio quite like Willis 'Bing' Davis. An African American artist, educator and community activist from Dayton, Davis’ artwork is known for its incorporation of African and African American themes, as well as its focus on social justice issues. He works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, clay and found object art...Today, in his mid-80s, Davis continues to create art, educate others and promote social justice causes in a variety of ways." (ThinkTV.org)
