FRIENDS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN ART:
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Summer’s advent means travel for many Chrysler Members, and
this year, the Friends of African American Art took to the
road—embarking on an exciting tour of works by some of the
most popular African American artists of the last century. FAAA
Members and friends, including guests from Hampton University
and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, headed towards
Washington, D.C. to view art on the campus of Howard
University and to experience the Aaron Douglas: African American
Modernist exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
While visiting Howard University, Gallery Assistant Director
Scott Baker led the group on a tour of the art holdings on the
campus, including the stained glass windows of Rankin
Chapel and the steel mural by Jacob Lawrence. The Friends
and guests also traveled to the Smithsonian Museum to view
the fusion of cubism, art deco, and African and African
American imagery found in Douglas’ work.
Want to join us next time Don’t miss your chance to
discover art from a different perspective. For more
information about trips or to become a Member of FAAA,
please contact Brian Wells at 757-333-6298.
