About this Event
A reception celebrating The Art of Elizabeth Catlett: From the Collection of Samella Lewis begins at 5 p.m.
Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) is widely considered one of the most important African American artists of the 20th century.
This exhibition comes from the collection of Dr. Samella Lewis (b.1924), an artist, collector, historian and author, who was Catlett's lifelong friend. In addition to celebrating Catlett's art, the exhibition includes examples of work by Catlett's husband, Mexican artist Francisco "Pancho" Mora (1922-2002) and by Lewis.
The gallery will remain open until 7 p.m.
