Save the date for the 2026 Black Creativity Gala!
Saturday, February 21, 2026

This year's Black Creativity Gala, held on February 15, 2025, was a vibrant, extraordinary evening celebrating the remarkable achievements of Black artistry and innovation. Guests enjoyed marvelous music, sumptuous food and the inspiring work in the Black Creativity Juried Art Exhibition.

Thanks to attendees and sponsors, the Gala raised over $700,000 for a wide range of targeted, culturally relevant STE(A)M education programming. Thank you again to our two Gala co-chairs, Cheryl Harris and Rashod Johnson, and to their incredible organizations, The Allstate Insurance Company and Ardmore Roderick respectively, for being our Lead Black Creativity Gala sponsors.

With your generosity and support, Griffin MSI will continue bringing innovative science education to our community year-round, ensuring we remain a resource for the next generation of Black leaders.
