Awesome Black Creativity (ABC), a celebration of Black figures in LEGO® Bricks, will be on display at the Gail Borden Public Library from Jan. 15 through Feb. 27, 2025, on the first floor.

This interactive exhibition of LEGO brick-built figures, an A–Z series spanning history and various disciplines, will inspire guests to think about building in new, innovative ways while providing the opportunity to make their own creations.

ABC highlights creativity of all kinds – from sports figures to musicians, artists to environmentals, and more. Using a classic childhood medium such as LEGO bricks provides an easy entry point for families to engage. Viewing and learning about the influential figures is the first aspect of the exhibition. Guests will also have the opportunity to tell their own story through building with LEGO bricks – starting with a self-portrait brick build and moving through the storytelling process by developing place and plot at freestanding design stations.

The creators of the inspirational LEGO figures displayed in the exhibition are Dave Kaleta and Richard Dryden, who represented themselves on LEGO Masters FOX in 2021 as a team of dads who are passionate about environmentalism, social justice, and civic and cultural pride. To continue the work they began on the show, they embarked on a 26-figure project. Awesome Black Creativity celebrates contemporary and historical Black creatives across disciplines such as contemporary dance, photography, music, film, culinary arts, activism, and more.
