Final Friday—Their World As Big As They Made It
Join us for a FINAL FRIDAY celebration of our new exhibition, Their World As Big As They Made It: Looking Back at the Harlem Renaissance on Friday, April 26, 2024 from 5:30 to 7:00 at the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia.
Their World As Big As They Made It features the visionary works of writers, artists, and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance whose creative and intellectual pursuits reflected the diversity of contemporary discourses that defined Black American identity and political consciousness—and shaped the ideas and arts of a time and place that would influence future generations. Five artists with connections to UVA and Charlottesville have works on display as part of our As Big As You Make It! project (supported by a grant from the UVA Arts Council) connecting artists working today to Harlem Renaissance poetry from a century ago.
This is a free event and an open house-style celebration.
