    Welcome to AfroSolo

    Best wishes for a Holiday Season that is filled with joy, peace and happiness.

    Our 16th annual AfroSolo Arts Festival was a wonderful success. From the opening of our free jazz concert in Yerba Buena Gardens to the closing of our 45 year retrospective of cartoonist Morrie Turner, in the African American Center of San Francisco's Main Library, we received amazing feedback about the events. Thank you for your support, we are humbled by this reception and look forward to 2010 with anticipation, enthusiasm and excitement.

    In fact, we are already working on our 17th season (August 2010) that is tentatively themed: United In Peace: Artists, Clergy, Statesmen and Community. Our goal is to unite with other peace seekers to make our community a better place to live.

    I hope you will join us.

    Thomas Robert Simpson

    Artistic Director





    AfroSolo's mission is to nurture, promote, and present African American and African Diasporan art and culture through solo performances and the visual and literary arts. Since 1993, we have provided a forum to give an authentic voice to the diverse experiences of Black people. Through art, we bring people of all ethnicities together to explore and share the human spirit that binds us all.
