The TAWU Artist Group
TAWU (The Art Within Us) is a collective group of Minnesota African, African American and visual artists of color who come together to exchange ideas and experiences in making art from many different visual mediums, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media and textiles.
TAWU assist artists development, performs workshops and seeks group shows to offer artists opportunities to expose their work to larger audiences. We also have been active in seeking regional and national opportunities for exposure.
TAWU artists have their own identity and are in charge of individual businesses and or art careers. It is our goal to be a conduit for artists of color to realize and fulfill their desire to create art with the support from like-minded souls who share the same creative goals. We stay connected by networking, improving our skills and staying informed.
