“In the years since "30 Americans" opened, it has become undeniable that African-American artists are making much of the best American art today.”⁠⠀–The New York Times⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After ten years traveling the US, #30Americans finally comes to Philadelphia and will be on view from October 27, 2019–January 12, 2020. Drawn from the Rubell Family Collection, this powerful exhibition spotlights many of the most influential African American artists of the past four decades as they explore identity against a backdrop of pervasive stereotyping. ⁠⠀
