Description

Join us each month for accompanying in-person art workshops hosted by the Mystic Museum of Art on different dates at 5 different public libraries in SECT. Register for the workshops separately on the respective library's website. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.' This program examines that arc as it relates to African American history enshrined in American Art. From colonial era portraits to 19th century and Jim Crow-era prints to 1960s Civil Rights photography, this program will provide a visual overview of African American oppression, struggle and progress towards equality.
