Lenten Artists Salons: Cindy Elizabeth
The 5th annual Lenten Artists Salons are gatherings of artists, arts lovers, and creative thinkers for informal, relaxed, living room style conversations, in the tradition of the Harlem Renaissance, sharing of ideas, performance, and philosophy using a mix of contemporary, historic, and/or biblical passages as springboards for dialogue and artmaking.
Previous salons featured discussions of works by James Baldwin, James H. Cone, Audre Lorde, James Weldon Johnson, Phyllis Wheatley, Joe Morales, Fred Miller, Micah Barber, Kelenne Blake, and more.
The Lenten Artists Salons are not a show or showcase, but rather a chance for artists to ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask, to wax poetically about the current state of affairs, to talk about topics they rarely get to discuss, and/or to unpack their creative process or other aspects of their identity, spirituality, and artistry in the company of a supportive community.
Join us, on Monday, March 22, 7pm, for an artist-centered discussion featuring guest artist Cindy Elizabeth.

About Cindy Elizabeth
Born and raised in the historic east side of Austin, TX, Cindy Elizabeth began exploring photography in her teens, as a means to document and archive her time spent with family and friends. Pushing aside her passion to pursue a corporate career, Elizabeth rediscovered her desire to document the world around her after graduating from Baylor University in 2010. As a result, Elizabeth began working with local organizations to document the stories of marginalized communities, and bring light to the impact of gentrification on her own community. Utilizing the mediums of photography, film, and mixed media, Elizabeth found photography to be a tool to explore concepts of culture, history, and symbolism. Her work strives to bring visibility to Black joy, community, and perseverance in the face of hardship. Today, Elizabeth’s art has been showcased at Women and Their Work Gallery, The George Washington Carver Museum, Mexicarte Museum and the University of Texas at Austin. When she is not making photographs, Cindy can be found vibing out to her favorite Old School tracks while planting flowers on Animal Crossing.
