The Black Artists Archive is a new institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the richness of Black art history and visual culture. The Archive has received initial seed funding of $125,000 from The Terra Foundation for American Art.
This funding will specifically go toward the preservation and archiving of portions of The Black Canon, a critical archive of works collected by James E. Wheeler. Through this funding, the Black Artists Archive aims to ensure that the art, narratives, and cultural legacies of The Black Canon are not only safeguarded, but celebrated and shared with future generations.
