An artist who travels the world, performs internationally, never stays in one city for too long has starting calling Tucson a home. He found what he called "a wealth of black talent in Tucson" and wanted to put on an event to show it off. Hotel McCoy was the venue, Roux Events the organizer, and Tucson the talent pool. The event was called Black Renaissance and the founder Seanloui Dumas quickly found himself at the forefront of a movement in Tucson.
It was supposed to be an event, then a series of events and now the plans include a city wide celebration of the wealth of black talent during Black History month.
I had a chance to sit down recently with Seanloui to get the story of how this artist with a transient lifestyle came to have such an impact on Tucson.
