Championing Black Art: A Conversation with Myrtis Bedolla
Sunday, February 25, 2 p.m. Smithsonian American Art Museum
McEvoy Auditorium and YouTube
Free | Registration requiredThere are only a few seats remaining to join gallerist, curator, and art advisor Myrtis Bedolla in person for her popular “Tea with Myrtis” at SAAM. Though space in the auditorium is limited, there is room for everyone to join us online!
Bedolla's series is inspired by a deep appreciation for the transformative power of art and a desire to create a space where meaningful conversations about contemporary art can thrive. A passionate leader and champion of promoting and collecting African American art, she engages in a lively conversation with art collectors, scholars, and arts professionals.
Participants in this rich panel discussion, presented in person and online, include Mel Hardy, art collector and co-founder of DC-based organization Millennium Arts Salon; Leslie King-Hammond, art historian and founding director of the Center for Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art; Stephanie Stebich, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of SAAM; and Lowery Stokes Sims, art historian.
Championing Black Art: A Conversation with Myrtis Bedolla is presented in person and online; registration is required. This program is made possible with generous support from the Thelma and Melvin Lenkin Education Endowment. |
