Cleveland State University Art Gallery and the Cleveland Artist Foundation have organized a sequel to the 1996 exhibition "Yet Still We Rise: African American Art in Cleveland, 1920-1970. We have some very talented African American Artists working here in Cleveland -- thought exhibitions under the theme of Cleveland African American Artists are rare, as Steven Litt Mentions in his February 5, article about this show [2]. For more information about "Each in Their Own Voice: African-American Artists in Cleveland 1970-2005" please see Cleveland State's press release. [3]

The show runs through March 7th, open Monday - Friday 10 am - 5 pm and 12pm - 4pm Saturday in the Cleveland State University Art Gallery, 2307 Chester Avenue.  But Friday February 13th, the official opening should be especially interesting and informative, there will be a gallery talk at 4 pm , many of the artists will be in attendance and a film by Robert Banks Jr. will be shown later in the evening in lecture room 202 above the gallery.

A  panel discussion moderated by William Busta is scheduled for February 21 at 2 pm.
