Drawn entirely from the Whitney’s holdings, the exhibition is organized around five themes: family and community, work, home, the spiritual, and the nation. During the six decades covered here, the United States experienced war and peace, economic collapse and recovery, and social discord and progress. American artists responded in complex and diverse ways, and a central aim of the exhibition is to honor each artist’s efforts to create her or his own vision of American life. The artists and their works suggest that our sense of self is composed of our responsibilities, places, and beliefs.

The artists in this exhibition have each forged their own unique path. Whether in the studio or in the streets, these artists have re-imagined a way of being and are living it.
Every year in Rome the International Photography Festival takes place, which commissions a different important photographer a project on the city. Among the many who have participated, we selected four Italian photographers: Olivo Barbieri, Gabriele Basilico, Marco Delogu and Paolo Ventura. We have also added a New York photographer, Leo Rubinfien, who is currently on assignment. Each photographer conveyed his signature style and his identity, but we felt that these particular chosen works shared a common sensitivity toward the beauty of the capital of Italy.
In 1973, a group of African American photographers in New York City published the first volume of The Black Photographers Annual.

Perceptions + Recognitions is a new body of work by internationally recognized photographer Burk Uzzle commissioned by the Greenville Museum of Art. The exhibition will be twenty (25) original pictures of residents in eastern North Carolina and shown at the Greenville Museum of Art in 2017.
The title reflects the fact that too frequently we hold perceptions about others that are disconnected from their truths and therefore inaccurate. Art has always afforded us the opportunity to share seminal emotions with strangers, to realize a connection, to know that our human experience may not be unique although our circumstances may be unrecognizable

This fall marks the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party's founding.

They remain cult heroes today, nearly 50 years after their founding.

Bushwick Chronicle recognizes Bushwick as a historically significant arctic community now in need of documentation.
