The current exhibition “Art and Legacy” presents a retrospective of the late Evelyn Cleopatra Facison, an artist and gallery owner whose career unfolded across multiple mediums, names, and roles. The 2D works on view were created by Evelyn under various surnames associated with different periods of her life.

Primary source materials document Evelyn’s activity as both an artist and a cultural organizer in Philadelphia and beyond. Legal records from 1968 confirm her operation of Facison’s Art Gallery in Philadelphia, establishing her place among the earliest Black women to own and operate an art gallery in the city. Contemporary newspaper and magazine coverage trace her exhibitions, public recognition, and visibility across civilian and military contexts, including features at Fort Monmouth in New Jersey.

The Midshow Reception is next Saturday, June 6th from 5-8pm! And live music! There will be a Q&A with Evelyn’s son, Alfred Bradley Jr (who made the wood pieces included in the exhibition). Come on out ☀️

Our 3rd exhibition of the year is a special one. For this show, Alfred Newell Bradley Jr. presents a collection of paintings by his late mother, Evelyn Cleopatra Facison. For the first time, Alfred’s wood creations will be exhibited alongside his mother’s art.

As an entrepreneur, artist, and mother, Evelyn was a force to be reckoned with in the mid-twentieth century. From clerk typist to USA Signal Corps manager, her life and career were multifaceted. Under the surname “Facison” she opened an art gallery in Philadelphia and coordinated a number of major exhibitions. She had formal training from the Flesher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, the Academy of Fine Arts, and painter Humbert Lincoln Howard.

Now, Alfred carries her legacy. We’re looking forward to sharing this family story. Join us for the opening reception on May 2nd from 5-8pm.
