“Connecting
People
With Art” Authors
Evelyn G. Redcross and
Mercer
A. Redcross III
This book
is a written
account of what October Gallery (OG) means to us. We attempted to
unfold
the saga of how OG evolved over time. In addition we queried patrons
and
artists alike: "What is the value of African American art to you?"
Their
personal responses, interesting and insightful, are included throughout
our story.
500 Pages Coffee Table Style Book Both our national and international patrons and artists have witnessed (first hand) the creation and development of the African American art industry, which prior to the 1970s was almost non-existent. This group of patrons and artists are part of what we call "BlackStream Renaissance". Most African American artists market and exhibit in the African American community. Successful African American art festivals and expos, where artists sell and exhibit, recognize the importance of marketing to this special community. It is in this community where the strength and the value of African American art begins. It is this community that has provided the foundation for Blackstream Renaissance. It is this community that has given us the content, the material, the stories for "Connecting People with Art". This book recognizes the pioneers of Blackstream Renaissance. Look
