Antwoine Washington will discuss his artistic journey as a painter, entrepreneur and founder of the Museum of Creative Human Art (MOCHA) at 4:15pm Monday, October 27 in CIA's Peter B. Lewis Theater. Washington was born in Pontiac, Michigan. He received his bachelor's degree in Studio Art from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “My work is inspired by the Black experience in America.
