<div><strong>Diaspora Connecticut (Diaspora CT) is an initiative that began with its founder, Andre Rochester, having a booth at the 17th annual </strong><a href="https://www.hfas.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Harlem Fine Arts Show</strong></a><strong> in NY.</strong> After experiencing the art, culture, and networking, he knew this was something that he would return to, but he must bring people with him to share the experience. There were artists and galleries from all over the country participating in this prestigious art fair, but he was the only one from a short drive up I-95 in Connecticut. However, he did notice that Connecticut artists did buy tickets to attend the event. Connecticut artists are aware of the Harlem Fine Arts Show, but were the organizers aware of what our state has to offer among the many artists who descend from the African Diaspora?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon returning home from being surrounded by so many Black artists, gallerists, collectors, and patrons of the arts for that weekend in February 2025, he started a new account on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/diaspora_ct" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/diaspora_ct" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/diaspora_ct</a></a>) and set forth on a mission to promote and uplift artists and arts administrators of the African Diaspora who work and live in the state of Connecticut. In addition to this, Andre recruited 5 artists from Bloomfield, Hartford, New Britain, Manchester, and Waterbury to join him in an effort to raise money to participate in the next Harlem Fine Arts Show in February 2026. <strong>These artists have agreed to work collectively with Andre to represent Connecticut's African Diasporic Artist community to present some of the talent that our state has to offer in a market where we do not appear to have much representation:</strong>

Support Diaspora CT Artists at Harlem Fine Arts Show

<div>My name is Che’La’Mora. I am a native of Hartford, a full-time creative, mom of two brilliant boys and a teaching artist. I am a graduate of Central CT State University. I’m starting this Fundraiser to  house all my creative adventures under one roof. I would like to continue to conduct workshops for the community, provide more creative community events throughout the year, and expand on my other creative ventures. Since the pandemic things have been quite challenging finding space and funds to accompany all that I am working on accomplishing. Your donations will go towards artistic supplies, studio space, and marketing events to ensure to get the word out. Thank you for your support, love and donations in advance! Assist me in continuing to bring art, creativity, and love to Hartford and all around the globe! I appreciate you all. If you are unfamiliar with my work, please visit my site at chelamora.com or google Che’La’Mora for more information. I have worked on community murals that are located at Rawson School, Scott’s Jamaican Bakery, The Russel Grab n Go restaurant, Joey Garlic’s, Bee mural at the 224 along with workshops hosted by Hartford’s Lit at the Hartford Public library, Project Resiliency Project, The Claypen and many more community events with Procreate Artist Group. Procreate Artist Group have put on Art Music Motion events where we served over a thousand people throughout the years among other community art events with the focus on food and coat drives. Thank you again for your consideration and many blessings.
