This month we have highlighted local Black artists and art in honor of Black History Month.
Today’s artist is Dustin Harewood.
He was born and grew up in New York City in the 1980’s and became a junior member of the Brooklyn Museum at 7 years old. His family later moved back to Barbados where he attended high school.
He later moved back to the U.S where he attended North Carolina Central University (BA) and then the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (MFA).
Dustin has been twice recognized with a Distinguished Faculty Award from Florida State College at Jacksonville. In 2017 the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville awarded him the prize of ‘Arts Educator of the Year.’
