Member Exclusive | Edmund Archer: Perspectives on Black Dignity Exhibition Opening & Reception

Join the Valentine for the opening of Edmund Archer: Perspectives on Black Dignity. Edmund Archer’s portraits of Black men and women radiate his sitters’ dignity and starkly contrast the caricatures and stereotypes of earlier Richmond artists and 20th-century popular culture. His honest portrayals tell the story of a progressive group of Richmond artists working at the end of Jim Crow era.

This exhibition opening and reception is free and open to members of the Valentine and their guests. Drinks and light fare will be available.

Registration is required and space is limited.

This exhibit is made possible in part by the generous support of our sponsors:

Jim and Bobbie Ukrop ∙ Yvonne and Charles Gold
Lillian and Walter Dean ∙ Jean and David Holman ∙ Reilly and Julia Monroe
