Mr. Jones, an independent art historian, will provide an appraisal of the life and work of several African-American artists who were active in Philadelphia during the 19th century. In this context, it also functions as a model of both the major accomplishments of, and obstacles to, African American artistic expression.
Admission is free, but pre-registration is necessary as seating is limited.
