Sista Soul Fest, a 501(c)(3) organization, is proud to present Say It LOUD! The Creative Art Gala & Auction for the first time in Fayetteville, NC. This inspiring event is meant to celebrate the artistic excellence of local creatives, particularly creatives of color. This new Fayetteville event will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at District 26 Studios located at 991 Old McPherson Church Road in Fayetteville.
Say It LOUD! is designed to showcase the work of artists, fashion designers, photographers and videographers while fostering cultural appreciation and creative expression. This gala serves as both a celebration and a platform to uplift underrepresented voices in the art community.
Featuring creatives from Fayetteville and beyond, attendees will experience a night of powerful artistic expression, networking opportunities, and the chance to bid on exclusive artwork in a dynamic auction setting.
As the annual fundraiser for Sista Soul Fest, proceeds from this event will directly support the upcoming Sista Soul Fest NC, scheduled for Sept. 20, 2025.
