THE LEGACY CONTINUES
I wanted to make a chronology of African American artists, and artists of African descent, to document our history. The historians weren’t doing it. I felt it better the artists do it anyway, through pictorial and written information. I thought it was absolutely necessary, not just for the public but for artists, to know what was going on. In my opinion, the artists were the people who documented our history better than anybody else. A lot was going on culturally. Blacks were rebelling and revolting and doing things that they hadn’t done before. I felt we had to do something. I created these books to inform artists, and inspire them to be participants in the movement. It was really about the movement.

The Black Artists on Art exhibitions serve as the catalyst for a campaign to produce new volumes in the Black Artists on Art book series and recruit over 500 black artists across the United States to demonstrate their creativity in this ongoing legacy. Furthermore, this exhibition series is intended to form a community of support around the Black Artists on Art brand to extend it beyond books.
To accomplish this, we will need YOU to support Black Artists on Art.
