The African American experience is explored through art during Soul! Art from the National Afro-American Museum now on view at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus, Ohio.
The exhibit features 119 works on loan from the Society's National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce, Ohio. The works reflect African heritage and the experience of blacks in America, through paintings, sculptures, textiles and prints that span the last two centuries.
"Our goal for the Soul Project is to give people of all cultures the opportunity to recognize the passion in the hearts and souls of these African American artists, and to identify similar emotions and experiences in their own lives," said Connie Bodner, director of education and interpretation services. "Art can be a bridge between cultures, and through art people often find more commonalities than differences."
Next to the exhibit a 1,000 square-foot space called "The Studio," has been set aside for educational programs. African American guest artists will conduct workshops in doll making, jewelry, poetry and other art media. Among the visiting artists will be Queen Brooks and Willis "Bing" Davis. Half-hour gallery tours will start here on weekends.
The Ohio Historical Society's History-to-Go van will take Soul related programs to area schools during the academic year and to community centers and group events during the summer months. The Society's Blast from the Past summer day camps will offer Soul sessions for kids ages 6 to 8, and three sessions for ages 9 through 11.
Soul! runs through February 28, 2010, and rotating exhibits, also from the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, will focus on African American jazz, dance, quilt-making and spirituality.
The story of abolitionist John Brown will unfold during The Legend of John Brown: Serigraphs by Jacob Lawrence on display from September 5 through December 6, 2009.
The Ohio Historical Center is located at 1982 Velma Ave., in Columbus, Ohio. Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for youths ages 6-12, and free for OHS members and children 5 years of age and under. The Center is open Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. For more information about guest artists and special events call 800-686-6124 or visit www.ohiohistory.org.
