About the speaker
Okeeba Jubalo is a dynamic force in the world of art and business, wearing many hats as a community builder, artist, activist, gallerist, and CEO. After 30 years working in branding, marketing, and the arts in Atlanta, Georgia, Jubalo returned to Charleston in 2021 to focus on transforming North Charleston into a vibrant hub for African-American arts and culture.
Through his marketing and branding agency, NobleSol Art Group, and two quarterly print publications, he champions independent media and creates countless opportunities for others to make their mark – and their art – in the Charleston community.
As a performance and visual artist, music label executive, and fine art exhibition curator, Okeeba's passion knows no bounds. His artwork often addresses religious, social, and political subject matter, using vibrant paint strokes and aged photography to highlight the struggles and sacrifices of African Americans. As the mastermind behind the Atlanta Fine Art Exhibition, Jubalo brings that same energy into his creation of the Global Art Fair in North Charleston. Jubalo is on a mission to ignite a cultural renaissance in his hometown.
