Experience Hip-Hop and Fine Art

The Friends of African American Art & Culture (FAAAC) will host Beyond the Beat: Hip-

Hop’s Cultural Climb Into Fine Art on Thursday, October 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the

Columbia Museum of Art. Designed and hosted by Preach Jacobs, MC and founder of

SoulHAUS Art Gallery, the event explores the dynamic relationship between hip-hop

culture and contemporary fine art through the lens of Keith Haring’s groundbreaking

work.

Guests will enjoy a vinyl listening session of classic ’90s hip-hop and R&B, followed by

a gallery tour highlighting Haring’s influence on street culture, social resistance and

rhythm-driven visual storytelling. Light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available.

Cost: Advance tickets: $20, $15 for FAAAC members; at the door: $25, $20 for FAAAC

members. Location: 1515 Main St., Columbia. For more information or to purchase
