Mission and Vision
ACOBE is a conscious demonstration of community and a festival of LOVE, where souls are united to celebrate the beauty of Blackness! ACOBE gathers creative content from members of the Black community, our allies, and supporters to create a collage of unity. We encourage participants to illuminate the beauty of Black life, and in doing so to explore their own humanity.
About ACOBE - A Celebration of Black Excellence
ACOBE will be displayed as an in-person collaborative showcase of black excellence and a professional development opportunity for creatives, educators, and community members. ACOBE aims to provide a space for all people to participate in celebrating black music, art, and culture –past, present, and future. This festival of love will provide an opportunity for our community to unite in the celebration of culture that spans multiple mediums, genres, and continents. The ACOBE organizers are a team of educators that believe that learning and understanding love is a life-long experience and we are all students on this journey.
“We aim to transform fixed mindsets through the expression of kindness and the celebration of various cultures and perspectives.” - Jordan Lee, ACOBE Executive Producer & Devereaux Nash, ACOBE Creative Director
