WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — WPTV's Diversity Committee hosted a Black History Month celebration to showcase African Americans and the arts, in addition to what makes South Florida such a special place to live.
During the month of February, the committee showcased the artwork of Lupe Lawrence, Andy Hollimon, Anthony Burks, Crystal Bacchus and Caron Bowman.
The artists transformed one of the station's production studio into an art gallery for employees with various types of art work from paintings to handheld items like coasters and journals.
