GTFA worked directly with the president of this historic African American college to create a grant for $500,000 awarded by the Donald W. Renyolds Foundation to curate, purchase and install a world class African American Art collection for the college’s library. The collection which includes works by artists of the Harlem Renaissance such as Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett and Beauford Delaney hang along-side original work by important Modern masters such as Sam Gilliam, Alma Thomas and Betye Saar. The collection also showcases works by primary artists Chakaia Booker, Whitfield Lovell and Keven Cole among others. The collection adds an aesthetic value to the campus and also serves as a teaching tool for those students who take American art history to study some of the great artists from the African American Art movement.
