According to the Facebook Event page, there is some pretty specific guidance as well. “Masks are properly worn over your nose and mouth required for the duration of the event. Buildings will have limited capacity to allow social distancing. There will be a check-in table at the front door. Temperatures will be taken, hands will be sanitized, and staff will make sure each attendee is wearing a mask correctly. That means cover your nose AND your mouth. A dedicated staff member will sanitize all high-trafficked surfaces at least every 30 minutes. Please remember to keep 6 feet apart from the people around you.”

The exhibit will feature artists such as “Tony Bingham, Lynthia Edwards, That’s Sew Gee’s Bend, Darius Hill, John “Jahni” Moore, Ruth Robinson, Sir Chris Da R Tist, Yvonne Wells, and Bernard Wright.” This premiere exhibition “Good Trouble” features the work of at least seven Alabama Black artists. The Kentuck Art Center hopes that it “achieves several goals: to highlight Black voices, to provide a space for these artists’ works to continue the conversation about the Civil Rights Movement past and present, and to inspire empathy and the desire for change through the visual storytelling of these Black artists.”
