JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION \u2013 JUNE 19 | 3-6PM\u00a0<\/strong>

Join us for a very special Juneteenth Celebration on the gallery’s last day! In addition to celebrating the anniversary of African-Americans’ emancipation, we will be honoring the life and legacy of one of Black art history’s most important figures, Dr. Samella Lewis (February 27, 1922 \u2013 May 27, 2022).

This free event will feature an intimate Artist Talk with Unity Lewis and host Faith J. McKinnie, where Unity will talk about his role as a caretaker of his grandmother’s legacy. This will also be the last opportunity to see the monumental exhibitions featuring artworks from three generations of the Lewis family, including Dr. Lewis’ son Claude and grandson Unity, as well as the legendary sculptural works of Dr. Lewis’ good friend, Richmond Barth\u00e9.\u00a0

We also have an extra special treat! The first 200 guests will receive a print from world-renown artist and activist, \u00a0Elizabeth Catlett. Catlett (1915\u20132012) achieved international fame for her powerful explorations of race, class, and her own African-American female identity. As a young woman, she studied art in the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
