Exhibition Announcement

The Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is pleased to present the exhibition Race and Representation: The African American Presence in American Art. Featuring approximately 25 works by 15 multi-generational artists, the exhibition is presented as part of the Weatherspoon Art Museum’s 70th Anniversary year showcasing its permanent collection.  American visual culture is permeated with the history and memory of slavery and racism. This exhibition suggests that however much we may seek to affirm a cultural diversity that transcends historically instigated racial boundaries, the African American presence remains American democracy’s greatest sticking point and testing ground.
