Teachers Making Black Arts History

"A Bold and Beautiful Vision,” an exhibition at the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, explores the rich history of African American artist-educators in Washington, D.C. across the 20th century. Rather than celebrating the singular genius of any one artist, the exhibition celebrates the collective genius of community: the teachers, mentors, and students who made the city into an unparalleled center for Black arts education that produced some of the country’s most gifted artists. Join us for a conversation between a Smithsonian historian and an arts educator as we unpack inspiring education stories that can help us see our communities’ strengths today.
