Visit Philly | Celebrate Black History Month
Visit Philly's 2021 guide to celebrating Black History Month includes a wide array of ways to engage and connect, and highlights PAFA's current exhibition, "Awakened in You": The Collection of Dr. Constance E. Clayton:
At this exhibit extended into 2021, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts displays more than 75 works by African American artists from the collection of educator and arts advocate Dr. Constance E. Clayton. The collection features mostly paintings and works on paper, and also includes sculptures by Richmond Barthé and Augusta Savage. Note, too, that PAFA’s renowned permanent collection includes works by Kehinde Wiley, Nick Cave, Whitfield Lovell, Mickalene Thomas, Jacob Lawrence, Horace Pippin and others on permanent display throughout the galleries.
"Awakened in You" is currently on view through April 4, 2021.
