The Village of Hillside is observing Black History Month by displaying the artwork of African American artist, Aaron Canino. Canino, a self-taught artist and resident of Hillside, is recognized for his paintings of local buildings. His work will be exhibited in the Village Hall Lobby for the month of February.
Canino’s art primarily features landmarks and buildings of cultural importance in the local area. He sees his work as an opportunity to engage with the community. His distinctive painting style has gained him a wider audience, reaching beyond his local community.
The Village of Hillside is encouraging everyone to participate in the Black History Month celebration. They are urging the community to support artists like Canino and to discover the artistic works of African American artists.
This event is a recognition of the contributions made by African American artists to the country’s culture. It provides an opportunity to acknowledge both past and present African American artists and their influence on art and culture.
