Zeal Eva

Zeal Eva is a visual storyteller, whose mission is to celebrate the Black experience through both her art and in the working relationships of the community. Originally from Bethlehem, PA, Zeal Eva’s work is deeply rooted in personal history and the histories of the communities in which she navigates. Through her personal artistic practice, Zeal Eva has taken a humanistic approach to curation, putting the needs of the artists first and working to make sure opportunities are open to individual artists within the black community who have not had the chance to exhibit work in a gallery setting.
