Rainbow Serpent partnered with The Pittsburgh Pirates and 1Hood Media to present Art as Liberation, a vibrant celebration of Black creativity and community. Held on June 18, 2022, outside PNC Park, the event showcased the work of 25 Black visual artists, alongside a live DJ, free food, interactive workshops, and musical performances.
