This exhibition presents artwork by African-American artists represented by the G. R. N'Namdi Gallery, Chicago, Detroit and New York. Although internationally recognized as one of the most influential contemporary abstract art galleries through their exhibitions and programs, the artwork in this exhibit ranges from representational to abstract. The exhibit features paintings by McArthur Binion, Frank Bowling, Nanette Carter, Ed Clark, Allie McGhee, and Bernard Williams.


This exhibition is held in conjunction with and in support of Western Illinois University's "American Democracy Project" and the 2006-2007 Campus Theme: "Global Challenges, Personal Responsibility and Cultural Diversity."
