Romare Bearden Society / Artcentrics An Affiliate Group Supporting the Mint Museum

The Romare Bearden Society’s purpose at The Mint Museum, an internationally-recognized art institution, is:

To support and grow The Mint Museum’s permanent collections of African-American contemporary art through educational, outreach and social programs, with a particular focus on the works of African-American, Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden;

To enhance the visitor’s experience through

face-to-face enjoyment of and dialogue about the art and craft created by African-American contemporary artists and through dedicated art acquisitions via annual
fundraising galas and educational/social events;

To further engage people of color and anyone interested in supporting African-American art through both existing and new programming and exhibitions, and other creative initiatives and projects highlighting contemporary African-American art and craft;

To honor Bearden’s commitment to engaged citizenship; to support local artists of varied art forms through education and art opportunities as he did through visual art, music, art criticism and poetry; to create dialogue and speak to social realities and community themes;
and

To collaborate with other Charlotte art and educational institutions to maximize diverse cultural opportunities for enrichment, education and outreach both in the Charlotte region and throughout North Carolina.

A peaceful bird is perched on a doorway above an active Harlem Street. Figures in various states of completion and scale weave in and out of fractured buildings and sit on stoops. Manicured nails hold a cigarette. A white sneaker floats above the crosswalk. The face of the artist William T. Williams peers thoughtfully out of a window.

Romare Bearden’s radical collages of Black life are expertly balanced arrangements of found imagery from magazines and photographs, with defined figures emerging from the composition’s wild mix of color, pattern, and texture.

→ Read about Bearden’s work in MoMA Magazine → mo.ma/3hdiUEM
→ See ’s collages in Gallery 402: In and Around Harlem.
