The Cinque Gallery: New York's Forgotten Hub of Black Art & Culture

Over centuries, artistic communities have fostered a camaraderie where an exchange of ideas and networking take place. The Art Students League, a community established in 1875, is recognizing Cinque Gallery, an African American run space founded in 1969 to exhibit African American artists, with the exhibition, “Creating Community: Cinque Gallery Artists”. This exhibition which is celebrating Cinque Gallery’s 35 years, will open May 3rd and run to July 4th.

The panel covers how this exhibition came to life. It will also touch on the origins of Cinque Gallery, founded by three artists: Norman Lewis, Ernie Crichlow and Romare Bearden. There will also be information on the origins of the Art Students League. On the panel is Diedra Harris-Kelly, the Co-Director of the Romare Bearden Foundation; Genevieve Martin, the former Director of External Affairs at the Art Students League; Susan Stedman, the Curator for “Creating Community: Cinque Gallery Artists” and Nanette Carter, artist and Program Curator for this exhibition.
