Just before 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 9th, make yourself comfortable, grab a drink, maybe even your dinner, and click on the link you were sent to join the ZOOM presentation…then sit back and watch The Harlem Renaissance. In this lecture, ArtScapades will look at the lives and works of three African American artists who were part of the early 20th century Great Migration out of the South into neighborhoods of the Northeast and Midwest. Horace Pippin, Aaron Douglas, and Archibald John Motley Jr. were part of the beginnings of an intellectual and cultural renaissance of African American art, music, dance, fashion, literature, theater, and politics centered in Harlem which spanned the 1920s and 1930s.
