Jet Exposé™ is an evening of African-American Art during Black History month. The term African-American Art means different things to different people. For some, the term designates a largely racial phenomenon, describing all artistic products—paintings, sculptures, graphic arts, crafts, architecture, etc.—created by North Americans of African descent.

For others, the preceding definition fails to take into account the cultural and racial implications of the term. For this latter group, African American Art refers to the artistic and visual products not just of North Americans of African descent, but of all peoples whose work has been shaped thematically, stylistically, formally, and theoretically by the confluence of black Atlantic cultures (i.e. folkways and traditions) formed as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and further developed during alternating periods of colonialism, emancipation, discrimination, and self-assertion.

For our purposes the concept of African-American Art moves freely between these two definitions and moves into a new cultural generation which is influenced by the very thing that has impacted every culture: Hip-Hop, and provides young Americans with a breed of new artistic ideas and possibilities.
