A new art gallery is opening today to help local artists tell important stories. The Tubman Gallery — named for abolitionist and activist Harriet Tubman — aims to showcase works from underexposed voices from women and Black and brown artists.

The noncommercial studio doesn’t charge admission, nor does it sell art. It’s paid for through charitable contributions and with the support of local nonprofit CommUnity Frontline.

Its inaugural exhibition, “I Ain’t Never Belonged to Just One Person,” explores concepts around ownership and includes works from Texas artists, including Dallas-based artist From, Phyl. This exhibition will be on display through Friday, May 24.

Head to 6613 E. Lancaster Ave. tonight from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for an opening ceremony with music, a film showing, and presentations. All are welcome to attend.
