Event Details


Witness the enduring mark Black artists have made on American art through more than two centuries of Black art in our collection — from 19th century painters Joshua Johnson and Robert Seldon Duncanson to modern and contemporary artists Faith Ringgold, Alma Thomas, and more.

Done in collaboration with the Harrison, Greenburgh, and Ruth Keeler Memorial Libraries. 


Please Note: This is a hybrid program, you can come to the library for a public viewing or watch from home using your own device.
