During this month’s Meet an Artist program, participants got to see Tracy Poindexter-Canton’s beautiful artwork and heard about famous Black artists she is inspired by. She also invited poet Stephen Pitters to share a poem he wrote in response to one of her pieces. To learn more about the artists that have inspired Tracy, you can access library materials about them and films on Kanopy. Library card holders can stream 8 films a month with a Kanopy account.
