The Artist Gallery, curated by Marcia Minter (Co-founder and Executive Director of Indigo Arts Alliance) features sixteen prints from fourteen renowned children’s book illustrators. Visitors can listen to a story, put on a puppet show, read a book, or reflect on the incredible artwork. Guests of all ages delight in strutting, leaping, and twirling in time with the Beautiful Blackbird gesture animation experience (designed by Sputnik Animation), where visitors become dancing birds projected onto the gallery walls. Bryan’s voice echoes through the space as he reads his work aloud, reminding everyone that, “Black is beautiful, UH HUH!”, and “Just remember, whatever I do, I'll be me and you'll be you." His themes of individuality, self-worth, and joy through expression are central tenants of the Beautiful Blackbird gallery. Bryan wrote “Beautiful Blackbird” to emphasize that there is beauty in all of us.
