Visit to Hemphill Artworks’ Exhibition Prints and Works on Paper

Please join us for a visit to Hemphill Artworks to tour the current exhibition Prints and Works on Paper with Mary Early, Gallery Director. This in-person and members-only event will take place on Saturday, April 15, 11:00 am.

The exhibition includes work by artists Ron Adams, Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, John Biggers, Elizabeth Catlett, Robert Colescott, Allan Rohan Crite, Aaron Douglas, Sam Gilliam, Palmer Hayden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Lois Mailou Jones, Alison Saar, Charles Sebree, Renée Stout, James Lesesne Wells, Charles White, and Hale Woodruff. The artists presented in the show worked from the mid-1930s through as recently as 2014.  While the work spans almost a century, it was made within the shared social and political context of the Black experience in America. These artists did not perceive a line where activism ended and art began. Believing that pictures could make a difference, they were invested in advocating for justice, empowerment, and community through education; the intentionality of creating editioned prints in a workshop setting reflects this dedication.

The exhibition is on view through May 6, 2023. More information is available here.
