2% Excellence in Black Artistry with Larissa Brown
2% Excellence in Black Artistry calls attention to the scarcity of Black representation in Orange County and in the art world more broadly. While acknowledging this structural absence, the exhibition honors artists whose work asserts presence, depth, and influence beyond their numbers. The title marks both a reality and an invitation—to look more closely, to recognize what is too often overlooked, and to expand the space in which these voices can be seen.
In this show we speak with one of the 2% featured artists: Larissa Brown, Illustrator, Cartoonist, and Educator.
