Completing the Story - The Value and Richness of Collecting African-American Art

1pm: Completing the Story - The Value and Richness of Collecting African-American Art

Moderator: Ashara Ekundayo, Director, Ashara Ekundayo Gallery, Oakland

 American culture would not be what it is today without its strong African American influence. With the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, much has changed to facilitate a solid properly- valued market for several categories of Black American art. For a long time many African American artists had not been included in the history of American art, and that's  changing. The story of African-American life through visual arts gives a broader sense of culture with regard to American art in American history. Panelists include:  A. Kelly Paschal-Hunter, Director Paschal Hunter Gallery; Rhiannon MacFayden, Gallerist/Curator; Teresa Moore, Collector; William Rhodes, Artist/Collector; Kristine Mays, Artist/Collector
