A seminal figure in 20th-century American art, Dr. Samella Lewis was an art historian, educator, philanthropist, and artist. Curated by Francine Farr, the exhibition illuminates her extraordinary life and global legacy as the first tenured black professor at Scripps College, founder of the Museum of African American Art, and her efforts to channel the power of art and art history to build community and address the struggle for equality for Black, Asian, and Indigenous Americans.
Dec 5
Into the Abyss will consist of three solo exhibitions organized around a common theme. Artists Marsia Alexander-Clarke (video), Richard Brown Lethem (painting), and Eileen Senner (painting) all explore the picture plane as a portal of infinite space that is also a metaphor for the mind.
