About this Event
Spring Art Gala
Join us for an inspiring evening where art, culture, and history come together in support of the Promise Land Historic Site. The Promise Land Spring Art Gala marks the launch of the Promise Land Heritage Association Endowment Fund, an important step toward preserving the historic buildings, stories, and legacy of the Promise Land community for generations to come.
Guests will enjoy an elegant night featuring live music, dinner, dancing, and a silent auction showcasing works by talented local artists. The evening will be hosted by celebrity emcees and performing artists Sy Smith, a descendant of Promise Land, and Shawn Carter Peterson.
A highlight of the evening will be the live auction of Generations, a powerful painting by acclaimed artist Omari Booker. The work captures the spirit of freedom, independence, and the enduring connection between generations of Promise Land descendants. Booker, whose work spans Nashville and Los Angeles, will be present at the gala for the auction.
Adding to the creative energy of the evening, guests will witness a live painting demonstration by award-winning Humphreys County artist Ricky Brasfield. Known for his bold colors and textured landscapes created with a wet-on-wet technique, Brasfield will paint throughout the event, allowing guests to watch the artwork evolve in real time. His completed painting will also be auctioned before the end of the evening, offering a unique keepsake from this historic celebration.
This special cross-county collaboration between the Promise Land Heritage Association and the Artist Guild of Dickson County celebrates heritage, creativity, and community—all while supporting the preservation of an important historic site.
