New Perspective: Selected Works of Artists from the African Diaspora in collaboration with Nicholas Roman Fine Art

CATSKILL — CREATE Council for Resources to Enrich the Arts, Technology & Education (formerly the Greene County Council on the Arts) in collaboration with Nicholas Roman Fine Art is pleased to present, New Perspective: Selected Works of Artists from the African Diaspora. The New Perspective exhibition will run from October 12- November 9, 2019, with an opening reception, Saturday, October 12, 4-7 p.m., at CREATE’s Catskill Gallery, 398 Main Street in Catskill.

Five African and African American artists are featured in the show: Franck Hodelin, Isshaq Ismail, Hilton Korley, Claude Lawrence, Nicholas Roman Lewis and Joseph P. Nana. The value of art by black artists has risen astoundingly over the past several years. However, the rise of art and artists from the African American Diaspora is an essential shift to acknowledge the voices less heard and to open the eyes of those who were not looking.

The featured artists in the New Perspective show span from Ghana to the United States with Caribbean heritage.
