Houston Museum of African American History events - several starting today!

The Magnificent Faith Ringgold is HMAAC's Summer exhibition featuring a broad selection of works spanning various mediums. The exhibition brings to Houston the work of Faith Ringgold, the legendary African American painter, writer, speaker, mixed media sculptor and performance artist lives and works in Englewood, New Jersey. Ringgold has made a unique contribution to the history of art by combining fine art traditions with needlework and storytelling traditions that build on her heritage as a woman artist of color. We invite you to join us tomorrow, July 22nd, after Bert Long Jr. artist Romeo Clay Robinson's 2pm gallery talk, for the opening reception of The Magnificent Faith Ringgold. The reception begins at 4pm. This is a MUST SEE show!  We hope to see you at our other upcoming events!
