Tritown Against Racism (TTAR) is excited to announce our sixth annual Black History Month Creative Expression Contest is wrapping up and the exhibition and awards presentation is fast approaching. TTAR aligns the contest each year with the theme chosen by Association for the Study of African American Life and history. The 2025 contest theme is African Americans and Labor. All art submitted for consideration will be placed in an exhibit at the Mattapoisett Library through February, Black History month. The contest was open to any Junior or Senior High School student attending school or living in the Tri-Town during the 2025 school year. Entries could be of any medium but no larger than 16 x 20 in size. This year’s contest also includes art submissions from elementary-aged children in the area as well. Any remaining entries can be dropped off to Mattapoisett Public Library during regular library hours by January 31 at 4:00 pm. Community members are invited to attend the exhibition opening reception in the Mattapoisett Library Community Room on Saturday, February 8, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm where winners will be announced and cash prizes will be awarded. Snacks and light refreshments will be served. Email info@tritownagainstracism.org with questions.
