Dive deeper into the current exhibition, “Romare Bearden: Artist, Activist, Visionary,” during this free public gallery talk!

FREE WITH MUSEUM ADMISSION

The exhibition was organized by the Romare Bearden Foundation. Join the Foundation’s co-directors Diedra Harris-Kelley and Johanne Bryant-Reid for a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition, how it came together, Bearden’s life and work, and the role of the Foundation in supporting Bearden’s legacy.

Harris-Kelley is an artist, educator, and author; she is also Bearden’s grandniece. Bryant-Reid is a WV native, an accomplished executive and fundraiser, who has an intense interest in cultural development and art education.

The gallery talk is free with museum admission.
