Art with your Cuppa

Raquell Holmes has selected paintings, photos and drawings from the art collection of LeVell Holmes, her father, who collected engaging, eclectic art from around the world, with a focus on Black culture. The select pieces will be on display at Johnny’s Java, Cotati CA, throughout the festival.

Take your picture with one of the art pieces and post it on the Festival’s Facebook page. Or, better yet, let the pieces of art inspire a poem and post that with your picture.

Dr. LeVell Holmes would have loved this festival! He was a cultural historian who felt that the ideal history professor is one who can talk about music, science and art as well as political events. In addition to creating the Ethnic Studies program of Sonoma State University, he found friends, family and warmth in people around the world.
