We think a lot about what it really means to fund creativity.

Not just programs, but the space and conditions where something real can happen.

That’s why we invested in the Mtamanika Youngblood Curator-In-Residence program. And, on April 16, 𝗛𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 became that space.

More than 120 guests gathered for opening night of 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘇𝗲. Curated by , the exhibition featured work from:







Sounds by set the tone, and the night built from there.

𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘇𝗲 invited people to see womanhood from multiple angles, and to see themselves somewhere in it.

But it was more than an opening.

What we’re paying attention to is this:

Did the artists lead the narrative?
Did the audience see themselves in the work?
Did the gallery become a site of connection and cultural exchange?

On April 16 , yes.

At HDDC, we believe art is one of the ways neighborhoods stay connected.

Thank you to , the artists, collaborators, and partners who helped make this opening possible.
