Join our guest Patrick Banks for “Everyone is a Collector” @thecalifornien

Everyone Is A Collector is built around a simple but powerful idea: collecting art isn’t reserved for a select few. It can begin with a single piece that speaks to you, and we will be in a warm, accessible space to explore that—through conversation, community, and artists.
We will feature two French artists whose work I’m happy to introduce to the Bay Area:
Alexis Stephens — French‑Jamaican painter whose practice grew out of the Paris hip‑hop dance scene. His canvases feel like movement suspended in air: gestural, rhythmic, and full of kinetic energy. Working in acrylic, graphite, oil, and crayon, he layers marks that read like choreography—raw yet controlled, alive without chaos. His work has been especially meaningful for new collectors. A file with details about the limited‑edition signed and numbered prints available at the salon is attached. Artist site: https://www.alexisbuststephens.com/
Jules Be Kuti — an Afro‑French artist whose graphite and mixed‑media drawings center tenderness, emotional nuance, and the interior lives of Black men and their children. His portraits capture quiet moments of vulnerability, joy, and connection—scenes rarely foregrounded in contemporary portraiture. Through subtle shifts of tone and line, he creates compositions that feel intimate, assured, and deeply human. Artist site: https://julesbekutiart.wordpress.com/

This is a replica of one of Augusta Savage’s most celebrated works called The Harp. It was exhibited at The World’s Fair of 1939 in New York then destroyed shortly after. She also mentored many well known artists whose work has been shown in museums for decades. Why don’t we know more about her life and contributions to the art world? We will explore this Saturday with educator Carol Belle Thomas Moss.

This is a FREE event. Documentary will begin by 2:30pm. Seating is limited.

5/30 at RBA Creative, 2 to 5pm

Join the Black Women’s Art Collective, EVOAK! and RBA Creative for an afternoon of film, conversation, and community at ArtistSpeak!, a public forum on the arts and contemporary issues. This month we’ll be presenting a screening of Searching for Augusta Savage, a 24-minute documentary on the groundbreaking Harlem Renaissance artist that investigates why, and the larger question of how, history decides whose legacy gets preserved.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with educator and resident expert Carol Belle Thomas Moss.

This is a FREE event! Mark your calendars and bring a friend!
