The Arts Consortium also aims to celebrate the glorious legacy of its people and educate visitors about the history of this community in America. In keeping with this theme, the gallery also houses a permanent exhibit which depicts the history of the Black Community in Cincinnati.
The Consortium is also a much sought after platform for up and coming artists to showcase their skills. The scope of arts, which are promoted by the organization, ranges from the visual to the literary and performing arts. The collection of painted images by Ibou Ndoye titled 'Frail Shadows for the Sahel' has drawn the Consortium much acclaim.
