About this Event
The ADSVA has arranged for a docent led tour of the exhibit featuring the artist Edmund Archer. Archer was born in Richmond, Virginia and along with his art career also served as Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art and an instructor at the Cocoran School of Art.
His portraits of Black men and women radiate his sitters’ dignity and starkly contrast to the caricatures and stereotypes of earlier Richmond artists and 20th-century popular culture. His honest portrayals tell the story of a progressive group of Richmond artists working at the end of the Jim Crow era.
Validated parking is available at the museum at 407 North 10th Street with admission.
