A 2019 Williams College survey of the collections of 18 major US museums found that, of a selection from works by 9,000 named artists, just 1.2% of works were made by Black artists. A panel of museum curators and directors will consider how museums are now working to diversify their collections.
This symposium—in person or live via Zoom— jointly organized by the Arts Council of Princeton and the Princeton University Art Museum and cosponsored by the Princeton University Humanities Council, is set to accompany Retrieving the Art of James Wilson Edwards and a Circle of Black Artists, an exhibition on view from October 14 through December 3 at the Arts Council of Princeton, Paul Robeson Arts Center.
Free registration via Zoom here. (When prompted, click to sign in as “attendee.”)
