HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — If you're looking for local art to mount on your wall, you can stop by the Von Braun Center on Thursday, May 20!
In partnership with Arts Huntsville, a group called "Huntsville Black Photographers" has launched an exhibit called "Onyx Lens".
Work from several Black photographers are on display and on sale. Some pieces range in themes from destination to botanical and, fashion.
"It really, really is a variety of different photographers that we offer, and I think that this was just an opportunity after COVID, for us to really reintroduce ourselves to the city in a big way and to just really showcase what we can do," says Huntsville Black Photographers Co-VP, Brandi Stephens.
The exhibit will relaunch in September and last through December.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a plethora of information on how to protect yourself and other from the coronavirus.
The virus can easily spread from person to person, so the CDC recommends you stay at least 6-feet apart from people not in your household. The virus is spread through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breaths or talks, according to the CDC. Because of this, the CDC recommends you wear a cloth facemask when around others and in public.
Additionally, the CDC recommends that you frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Symptoms to look out for include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, a sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea, according to the CDC.
