BLAC Fest 2026

Black Legacy of Arts and Culture Festival (BLAC Fest) is a Black History Month weekend celebration honoring the creativity, history, and cultural impact of Black artistry.

Our 2026 inaugural year, marked the beginning of a new cultural tradition rooted in celebrating Black artistry and legacy.

This year’s theme, Framework, explored the structures that shape Black identity and how art can challenge what limits us while building what comes next. BLAC Fest is presented by The Pop-up Project in collaboration with Providence Newson Dance Company and SOBI Connect.
