On Friday, September 3 from 6 to 9 p.m., The Nu-Art Series will present “Paintings by Cbabi Bayoc” as part of its ongoing series Jazz and the Visual Arts at the Metropolitan Gallery. The show continues through October 2.
Bayoc will be paired with jazz vocalist Nikki Washington, who was born in St. Louis in 1973. Washington will sing the songs of Dinah Washington in a one-time-only feature on Saturday, September 4 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the gallery.
Cbabi (pronounced Kuh-bob-bi) Bayoc is an artist who has always known, and lived, his calling: creating art which reflects his love of music and family.
In 1995, Bayoc received his bachelor’s in Liberal Arts from Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana. Since that time, he has been fortunate enough to more than make a living as an artist; he has wedged himself into the class of artists who receive accolades and acclaim for their work.
With his paint brush, pencil and pen, Bayoc has created a career for himself. Along with his caricatures, magazine illustrations, his work has been commissioned by Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch and SIDS Resource.
The Metropolitan Gallery, 2936 Locust St., is open Wednesday – Friday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday by appointment only.
