简单介绍
The Museum of the National Center of Afro
American Artists (NCAAA) is dedicated to the celebration, exhibition,
collection and criticism of black visual arts heritage worldwide.
The Museum presents a wide range of
historical and contemporary exhibitions in many media, including painting,
sculpture, graphics, photography and decorative arts.
Among the resources offered at the Museum
are its African, Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean and African American collections;
an extensive slide archive, and a rich variety of education programs for young
people and adults.
On the grounds of the museum's historic
location sits the Eternal Presence. This piece was commissioned by the National
Center of Afro-American Artists to celebrate human creativity and spirituality
from the beginning of the human family to now.
John Wilson created the sculpture drawing
upon various traditions including the Olmec heads of ancient Mexico and images
of contemplating Buddhas. Eternal Presence was installed in 1987, and
represents the commitment of the NCAAA to excellence in contemporary artistic
expression for the black world
Since 1969, the National Center of Afro-American
Artists and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,
have enjoyed a unique collaboration that
has been mutually beneficial, and has greatly assisted in the development of
the NCAAA's museum.
