GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Welcome to the 26th year of the National Black Arts Festival! We appreciate our corporate and foundation sponsors along with the many individuals whose generosity allows NBAF to host this year’s incredible range of events. NBAF is the only festival of its kind in Atlanta that brings together artists of African descent in the areas of dance, theater, film, music and visual arts. In fact, it is the longest-running multi-disciplinary arts festival of the African Diaspora in this country.

On the heels of a successful 25th anniversary season in 2013, we are proud to introduce you to the new NBAF. Our 2014 season is grounded in a fresh Strategic Vision that begins with the foundation of building local and national partnerships to bring compelling programming of the African Diaspora to Atlanta while empowering others along the way. This bold new vision will take us into the future and allow NBAF to become a national leader in the development of new work by artists of African descent. This season, NBAF has commissioned three world premieres — in dance, spoken word and hip-hop theater — as we move forward in this new direction.

The theme for this year’s festival is “Higher and Higher” and the artists that will be presented are some of the most well-known and accomplished in their fields. The heightened cultural offerings begin with the inaugural Spotlight Series, which digs deep into one of the five NBAF disciplines each year, and continue with the new NBAF Global event, annually highlighting one region of the Diaspora. We have added educational programming, such as the Youth Empowerment Series (YES!), and created a new awards show format for the Legends Celebration.

This summer, NBAF unveils this fresh, long-term vision that builds on our proudest accomplishments while taking the Festival to a whole new level as we celebrate works and exhibitions from renowned legends as well as emerging young artists. I am honored to serve NBAF as Chair of the Board during this amazing transformation. I hope you will join us throughout the season to celebrate culture, support the arts and feel your spirits lift higher and higher.

NBAF STRATEGIC VISION

Entering its 26th year, NBAF has announced an exciting new Strategic Vision for 2014-2017,

framed around seven strategic priorities which promote NBAF’s status as:

The national black arts festival advances the art and artists of the African Diaspora, engaging children and adults as supporters,

thinkers and creators on topics of social, historical, and economic importance, within a context of inclusivity, partnership, and

unimpeachable artistic quality.

NBAF will take concrete steps to achieve this vision every day.

With the support of its loyal audiences, donors, and sponsors, and in partnership with artists and institutions in Atlanta and around

the world, this year NBAF enters a new chapter.

Join us this summer as NBAF’s star rises higher and higher.

NBAF announces the inaugural Spotlight Series! Each year, the Festival goes deep into one of the five NBAF disciplines in a

sequence of events curated by a legendary artist.

This year is the year of music, and NBAF inaugurates this initiative by celebrating the vision of none other than NEA Jazz Master Wynton Marsalis, who has chosen three outstanding musicians to join him

in taking jazz in Atlanta higher and higher.

Spotlight Series curator Wynton Marsalis has personally chosen fellow NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath, vibraphone virtuoso Jason Marsalis and award-winning pianist Marcus Roberts to join the summer’s program.

2014 MUSIC SEASON

Spotlight SeriesJazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis: Modern Life, Modern Music, an evening curated specifically for NBAF by Marsalis, features original compositions by members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Marsalis describes the inspiration for the concert thus: “The DNA research is in. We are all descendants of Africa. Let’s celebrate the scientific death of tribalism. Modern life affords us the opportunity to choose our tribe by interest instead of genetics. Today, families are formed across the superficial lines of race and nationality. They are more flexible and numerous. The divisive conventions, which force us into competing clans who wish to claim superiority over ‘others,’ are giving way to an emphasis on culture and its shared mythic symbols that unify us at the deepest levels of our collective consciousness. Duke Ellington said THE people are my people. Jazz knew that

any person is related to all people, long before DNA told us it was so.” Friday, July 25 at Atlanta Symphony Hall

“I’ve selected artists whose virtuosity and dedication has earned the spotlight. In addition, I’m excited to bring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to Atlanta on July 25 as part of the Spotlight Series.”

– Wynton Marsalis

Heath Brothers Quartet plus Jeremy Pelt offers an evening of classics from the American Songbook as well as signature compositions by Heath himself. Marsalis states, “NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath, brilliant instrumentalist, magnificent composer and arranger, is vital at 87 years old — when he walks into a room, jazz history is made.” Saturday, August 23 at Rialto Center for the Arts Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet, performing hits from Marsalis’ new album, will feature Marsalis on vibraphones, Will Goble on bass, David Potter on drums

Black Aesthetics and African Centered Cultural Expressions: Sacred Systems in the Nexus between Cultural Studies, Religion and PhilosophyIn partnership with Emory University, NBAF collaborates on a three-week symposium that investigates Black Aesthetics and African Centered Cultural Expressions: Sacred Systems in the Nexus between Cultural Studies, Religion and Philosophy. The symposium will stage a number of high-energy discussions related to the black aesthetic, while broadening and reviving interest in this area of scholarship for future research and intellectual inquiry. It will focus on the development of African-based sacred systems in the nexus between cultural studies, religion, and philosophy, and their influence on the arts. July 13-August 1 at Emory University NBAF NEXTNBAF partners with two arts leaders — Atlanta’s NEXT and national network Alternate ROOTS — in a multi-year effort inspired by the idea that art has the power to create change. NBAF NEXT seeks to promote emerging artists, with an emphasis on Atlanta-based artists, and elevate artists working at the intersection of creative expression and social justice. The SalonThe Salon is a celebration of rising, Atlanta-based talents in the visual, literary, spoken word and musical arts —

those on the cusp of stardom. It features four genre-blending performances: visual/performing artist and scholar Fahamu Pecou; jazz and soul vocalist Brenda Nicole Moorer; playwright and community agitator Michael Molina; and Emmy-award-nominated spoken word artist Jon Goode. This interactive event encourages collaboration between artists and audience to take aim at the most important issues facing us today. Thursday, July 31 at Hammonds House Museum
