From 1968 to 1972, St. Louis was home to the Black Artists’ Group (BAG), a seminal arts collective that nurtured African American experimentalists working
in theater, visual arts, dance, poetry, and jazz. As debates over civil rights, nationalism, and the role of the arts
in contemporary struggles all found form in BAG, the organization quickly became one of the Midwest’s most significant
exemplars of the emergent Black Arts Movement of the 1960s.
Inspired by a need for an assertive Black cultural renaissance in the Orlando area, Everett Spruill and a group of visual artists decided to revive the "BLACK ARTISTS' GROUP".
BAG of Orlandos'
