BAFF 2023 ARTIST IN MEMORIAL  & TRIBUTE TO ​
ST. PETERSBURG ARTIST NICK DAVIS

Late December 2022 the St. Pete Arts Community lost a Digital artist that was definitely on the rise and soaring to higher heights in the arts due to complications from Epilepsy.  Nick Davis, gifted at drawing and painting, took up computer generated artwork, and dedicated himself to making impressionistic portraits of African Americans – from the everyday to the well-known – as part of a collection he called Black is Beautiful. On his website, ndartlife.com, Davis wrote “My mission is to show black people living comfortably.” This he did and more. 

On Sunday Feb 26, 2023 at 6:30pm at the FACTORY ST. PETE 2622 Fairfield Ave. St. Petersburg, FL, The Black Art and Film Festival will hold a special memorial in Nick's honor to celebrate the life of the artist, showcase his work. and present the artist of the year award.
