“Continuum: Classical to Contemporary Islamic Art,” is a group exhibit curated by Public and Community Artist Kulsum Tasnif that celebrates process, reverence, and renewal within Islamic art. It gathers Muslim American artists working across traditional and contemporary forms – from Tezhip (illumination), Arabic calligraphy and Islamic geometry, to new works inspired by these classical disciplines.

Join us for an Artist Reception on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Block Gallery located inside the Raleigh Municipal Building.
