Annual Youth Art Challenge
Keepers Of The Culture
This citywide initiative invites K-12 students in Columbus
to honor local African American leaders and historical figures through visual art. Students are encouraged to create 2D artwork that reflects the impact, contributions, and legacy of their chosen figure.
Keepers Of The Culture Was Made Possible By:
Bring Black History to Life with Keepers of the Culture
Culture Keepers on Call - From Our Elders to Our Youth
The James Preston Poindexter Foundation invites you to host a visit from our JPPF Speakers Bureau —a group of wise elders ready to share real stories, lived experiences, and powerful lessons about Columbus Black history. Perfect for schools, youth camps, or churches, these talks inspire pride, identity, and cultural connection in young people.
