Celebrating Black History Month

African American Artists have contributed to this nation's cultural landscape significantly throughout its history. This February, the Village of Hillside proudly spotlights one such artist, Aaron Canino, whose captivating artwork will grace the walls of the Village Hall Lobby.

Aaron is a proud Hillside resident and self-taught artist who follows his passion for creating architectural paintings of local buildings. Aaron utilizes his art to spotlight landmarks and culturally significant local buildings and views it as an opportunity to meet people from the community. This freelance artist has gained popularity with his unique painting style, growing his following outside of his local community.

Join us in honoring Black History Month by championing creatives like Aaron and exploring the rich tapestry of artistic expression crafted by black visionaries, both past and present.
