Dear ART | library deco supporters:
Thank you for always taking the time to read and interact with the only African American virtual art library, gallery, and repository that delves into the Black experience in art, literature, and culture. This year once again had its highs and lows in all things centered around African American culture! To end this year, we have curated a listing of content for you to review at your leisure during the holiday season. For now, sit back, rewind in time and catch up on content, news, and information missed throughout the year. Our library curatorial team is looking forward to bringing you relevant content in 2023 that matters and will expand your horizons in African American art.
ART | library deco will go on break from December 1 – January 15, 2023.
