To complement the exhibition African American Art of the 20th Century from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, we have brought together a selection of paintings, sculptures, photo montages and prints from The Westmoreland’s permanent collection and loans from Art Bridges and The University Museum at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

The nine artists in this special focus exhibition: Tina Williams Brewer, Willie Cole, David Clyde Driskell, Vanessa German, Charles ‘Teenie’ Harris, Kerry James Marshall, Thad Mosely, Joe Overstreet, and Mickalene Thomas, explore their own personal histories, their heritage, and art history in a range of media and approaches.
