The McMullen Family Gallery
The McMullen Family Gallery is customarilly dedicated to changing selections of American art from the mid-eighteenth century through the end of the nineteenth century. Arranged in a general chronological order, the installation traces the development of American art from its emergence in the Colonial period, when there were no art schools or museums, to the American Renaissance era, when American visual culture flourished both at home and abroad. Throughout this century and a half, American artists were greatly influenced by European sources; at the same time they developed a distinctly independent national culture.
Currently, the McMullen Family Gallery showcases the exhibition A Force for Change: African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund. This exhibition will be on view through July 25, 2010. For more information, Click Here.
