Original artists to refurbish mosaic sign for Black Belt Art Treasures in Camden

The sign for Black Belt Art Treasures Cultural Art Center in Camden is being refurbished by the original artists as part of the organization’s 20^th anniversary celebration.

The sign, which is a mosaic design, was created by artist Linda Munoz with the structure made by Danny Pettway and was unveiled at the 10^th anniversary in 2015.

Over time, Associate Director Kristin Law said the sign has lost pieces from the mosaic and is in need of refurbishing. 

Just in time for the 20^th anniversary celebration on Oct. 2 that will launch a year of programming, Munoz and her daughter Myra will be renovating the mosaic part of the sign while Pettway will return to repair the structure.

The 20^th anniversary will be celebrated with an event on Oct. 2 at their headquarters at 209 Clairborne Street in Camden. Read more about the program here.
