Kiiji Universe presents: Black August Art & Fashion Show

Come join us for a night of creativity and style at the Gem Theater! Kiiji Universe is commemorating all the real-life Black heroes and sheroes who put their lives on the line for the liberation of our people from national and global oppression. Not those who were hit in the head with bricks and marched on, but those who threw bricks back and never get mentioned during Black History Month (i.e. Nat Turner & Assata Shakur)
In their honor, Kiiji Universe is hosting a fashion and art show that enables up-and-coming Black designers to showcase their talent and allows local businesses to sell their products to promote and advance Black Owned Businesses.

Get ready to be inspired and amazed by the talent on display. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind event! See you there!

Interested in more of our events supporting the Black community? Join us for Kiiji Universe's Black Tie Fundraiser event taking place the day before: Saturday, May 3, 2025.
