GREAT CANADIAN ARTISTS THAT HAPPEN TO BE BLACK - Black Art Matters

The past few weeks have greatly enhanced my education on the plight of our black brothers and sisters.  I’ve had many ‘intense’ conversations with friends who have patiently contributed to my awareness. 

Recently, various cultural groups including the AGO and ROM, to name a few, have been virtually educating us on Black Artists.

The National Art Gallery displays several pieces of Robert S. Duncanson’s beautiful Canadian landscapes dating back to 1864. He was the first African-American artist to receive international recognition and who also lived in Montreal for a couple of years prior to moving to Europe.  

I thank The Art Canada Institute for that piece of knowledge. They are dedicated to researching, cataloguing, educating and promoting Canada’s art to the public. We have a deeply rich fine arts culture. I am inspired by all those who have made sure their voices are heard.  

And, ... I admit, I still have a lot to learn.
