Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection

Various Artists

About the Exhibition

The Spelman College Museum of Fine Art was founded in 1996, and the museum's mission is to uplift art by and about women of the African diaspora. The college began collecting objects in 1899, less than 20 years after the establishment of Spelman College. In honor of this 125-year-old legacy, the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art presents Silver Linings, a selection of works from the 1800s until now, from the permanent collection.

Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection features works by Amalia Amaki, Emma Amos, Benny Andrews, Firelei Báez, Herman "Kofi" Bailey, Romare Bearden, Betty Blayton, Beverly Buchanan, Selma Burke, Elizabeth Catlett, Floyd Coleman, Renée Cox, Myra Greene, Sam Gilliam, Glenn Ligon, Howardena Pindell, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, Lucille Malkia Roberts, Deborah Roberts, Faith Ringgold, Nellie Mae Rowe, Lorna Simpson, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Lina Iris Viktor, Carrie Mae Weems, Charles White, and Hale Woodruff.

Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection is organized by the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Curated by Liz Andrews and Karen Comer Lowe with initial contributions from Anne Collins Smith.
