Artists featured in the show, curated by Andra Archer, include Darrell Anderson (who’s also served as guest curator), Dominique Bargaineer, S.A. Bennett, Jordan Casteel, Ed Dwight, Michael C. Gadlin, Juliette Hemingway, Ron Hicks, Rochelle Johnson, Helen Littlejohn, Donzell McDonald, Ella Maria Ray, John Toms, Floyd Tunson, Jerome Vaden, Irvin Webb and Otis Williams.

The show will be open during lobby hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday.
