Event Details

Art educator Janet Cohen Mandel leads a special, two-part virtual art-appreciation program on Zoom! Between the two world wars, millions of African Americans set out on an odyssey known as the Great Migration. In the course of this journey, they created a new identity that would alter the landscape of modern art. Part I of this story, presented on Friday, February 10, will explore the rich contributions these pioneers made to American culture, from the Harlem Renaissance through the Civil Rights Movement. Part II, held on Monday, February 27, will continue the saga from the age of Black Power protests of the ‘60s through the present day. Join us as we celebrate the rich contributions these pioneers made to American culture, and which continue to astonish art lovers today.
