Art by African Americans: From the Protest of the ‘60s to the Age of Black Lives Matter
At the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, African American artists were inspired not only to create amazing works, but to agitate for fundamental change in the art world. After being marginalized and ignored for so long, they demanded greater representation of their work in museums, as well as the inclusion of African American scholars and curators in the ranks of museum professionals. Join our virtual art talk with Janet Mandel to celebrate the rich contributions these pioneers made to American culture, and see some of the work that continues to astonish art lovers today.
Janet Mandel taught in New Jersey’s public schools for 32 years, where she taught English, art history, World Languages and Cultures. Now retired, Janet presents illustrated talks on a variety of art historytopics at adult schools, libraries, museums, senior centers, community centers, and similar venues.
This live online event will not be recorded. To register or for more information, contact library Program Coordinator Anne McDonough at vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Vineyard Haven Library and other Martha's Vineyard libraries.
