This historic Hall stands as a living memory of a neighborhood built on resilience and community. Within these walls, laughter echoed late into the evening, and generations gathered to celebrate, organize, and dream forward.

It is our honor to help ensure that these stories continue to be told. Yesterday, the BM&CF and Town of Blacksburg team installed new banners at St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall that indicate renovations to the structure and the surrounding property that was once New Town, one of five segregated Black neighborhoods in Blacksburg. As the steward of this historic site, BM&CF is currently working with former New Town residents on new exterior features and interior exhibits. These important elements will collectively tell the story of both the Hall as a central gathering place and mutual aid society, and the people it served.

Join us Saturday afternoon for Savannah Penven’s closing artist talk for her show “Burn Your Candle Into Another World” from 12-1pm. Her show ends today at the Main Street Inn, but if you aren’t able to make it in time, she will be showing her pieces in our gallery during her talk!

And we’ll wind the month of April down with a film screening of “Pulling Threads” on Thursday, April 30. Please note that RSVP is required for this screening and more information can be found at blacksburgmuseum.org

Thank you to all who helped bring this art exhibit

Thank you to all who helped bring this art exhibit into our community. Especially among our current climate, art that represents love, diversity, tolerance (and its many definitions), and collaboration is a powerful act, and we are incredibly proud to play our small part.

#thetoleranceproject is a traveling poster show initiative, a bold enterprise founded and curated by artist-activist @mirkoilicillustration This show features posters by prominent artists from around the world whose only direction is to illustrate the word “tolerance” in their native language.

Thank you to Mirko Ilić for joining us to give remarks on this incredibly impactful exhibit and for leaving us with some words of advice for when we find ourselves asking, “What can I do?”. “Put your heart into it. It will be great!”
