To support “Louisville Black Avant-Garde (LBAG) 2025 Legacy Convening,” which focuses on connecting Louisville’s and Atlanta’s Black modern art scenes, locating artworks, capturing knowledge from artists and their families, emphasizing the Louisville-Atlanta link, and building momentum by introducing the project to Atlanta-based art professionals and scholars. The convening is part of a larger project that aims to highlight the culturally significant arts ecosystem led by Black artists in Louisville from 1950 to 1980, a period often overlooked by institutional archives, through exhibitions and publications to engage with artists, historians, and community leaders to reconstruct and celebrate this historically neglected art scene. The convening will feature a combination of private and public audiences.
