Art of the Collectors III explores the role of the collector in preserving our visual heritage through works which connect us to our past and serve as a bridge to our future. The exhibition features important works of art by prominent African American artists as well as african art objects. The exhibit offers collectors the opportunity to sell works and acquire new ones, and to view rare pieces held in private hands for generations.

Featured artists: Charles Alston, Romare Bearden, Anne Bouie, Elizabeth Catlett, Dr. Albert Carter, William Carter, Richard Dempsey, Joeseph Holton, Sam Gilliam, Sargent Johnson, Lois Mailou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Al Loving, E.J.
