African American Art and History
http://www.african-american-art-history.com/


This site provides information on the history of art by
Blacks and Black history from slavery to the present
in the visual arts, literature, performing arts and music.


Blacks in the fields of art, dance, literature and music
have in the last twenty-five years gained recognition and
respect for their work. The Black public and mainstream
America have started collecting African American fine
art and decorative art. They purchase recorded African
American music and books. They attend movies and
plays written and directed by, and recitals featuring,
African American musicians and dancers. They purchase
clothing and accessories designed by African Americans
and attend shows featuring these products. They view
pictures in magazines taken by African American
photographers. They live in homes designed by African
American architects and decorated by African American
interior designers. As a result of this recognition, African
Americans as well as the general public are improving
their knowledge of African Americans' contributions to
the arts and to American culture. Teaching in colleges
and universities, many African American artists provide
inspiration and encouragement to young Black artists.

African-Americans have helped to shape our state's
colorful past and its future.
