Black Philly 250 Event - Chad Cortez Everett
2026-02-05 12:00 - 2026-02-26 17:00 (America/New_York) | The Chester County Art Association, 100 North Bradford Avenue, West Chester, PA, 19382, United States
An Artist’s Journey toward Mastery
Group Exhibition | February 5 – February 26, 2026
I am honored to be included in the group exhibition An Artist’s Journey toward Mastery at the Chester County Art Association in West Chester, Pennsylvania. This exhibition marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey and signals the beginning of new creative opportunities in 2026.
I am grateful to be exhibiting alongside two legendary artists, Dane Tilghman and Jose Sebourn, whose contributions to contemporary art and education have been deeply influential.
For this exhibition, I will present both new and past works from my ongoing collection, Jawnism.
Jawnism is my personal visual language—an autobiographical approach to painting and collage rooted in memory, place, and lived experience. Drawing from my childhood and adult life in Philadelphia, Jawnism explores themes of nostalgia, resilience, family, and cultural identity. Through figurative storytelling, bold color, and the use of found materials such as vintage ephemera and layered imagery, my work bridges past and present, honoring everyday moments that often go unnoticed but carry deep emotional weight.
Each piece functions as a visual archive—capturing moments, rituals, and environments that have shaped my identity as an artist, educator, and individual.
