Kwanzaa runs from December 26 to January 1 and honors seven principles, one for each day: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
Most Kwanzaa decor is disposable. This collection is being built as canvas work you can leave up all year, printed to order on archival stock in the USA with pigment inks rated for a century.
New pieces are added as they are finished. If you want something specific for the season, order early, since every canvas is made by hand after you buy it.
Frequently Asked Questions
A week-long celebration running December 26 to January 1, created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga. It isn't a religious holiday and it doesn't replace anything. It's a cultural observance built around seven principles, one for each day.
Umoja, unity. Kujichagulia, self-determination. Ujima, collective work and responsibility. Ujamaa, cooperative economics. Nia, purpose. Kuumba, creativity. Imani, faith. One is lit and discussed each night of the week, in that order.
Black, red and green. Black for the people, red for the struggle, green for the future and the land. The kinara holds seven candles, one black in the center with three red and three green flanking it. The mkeka mat, the unity cup and ears of corn for the children complete the setting.
Not yet. New original work is in progress and we're not going to fill the page with disposable seasonal product in the meantime. If you're looking for African American art on canvas now, the main gallery has 63 pieces ready to order.
Most Kwanzaa decor is designed to be packed away on January 2. Art on archival canvas is designed to stay up. The principles aren't seasonal, so the argument for treating the artwork as seasonal is thin.
By late November or the first days of December. Pieces are printed to order, so production runs ahead of shipping, and December is the worst month of the year to leave shipping to chance.
