BEAUTIFUL: Featuring Phoebe Beasley, Elizabeth Catlett, LaToya Hobbs, Samella Lewis, Anyta Thomas, & Marjorie Williams-Smith

17 June - 18 September 2021

Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder.

One's own taste plays a role in personal choice but can never take away from what is truly beautiful.

Art is one vehicle that prompts the eye to speak to one's soul.

Society and the media play a role in what is supposedly

acceptable as beauty. Some people think value dictates

beauty but art does not play society's game.

The artists featured in Beautiful  are intentional.

Their palettes and subject matter ignite a spark that

makes one smile and wonder... "How did she do that?"

Beautiful artists are complex and creative, daunting and serious. Their presence and signature delivery make the viewer go within to appreciate the excellence portrayed.

 The lenses of Beautiful are wide and thoughtful.

Take time to use your eyes and interpret beauty

as your soul sees it.
