as well as poets to enter the work they created during the past two Covid19 years. African-American Artists, Women Artists as well as all artists have been included to collectively look at the complex issues of Black History & Women through an artist’s lens. Artist have been asked to look at “Places”, “People”, “Things,” and “Dreams” – allowing viewers to take part in these conversations that lead to a lens which takes a closer look at Women and Black History in Danville.

About the Museum: Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History’s mission is to promote history and art in the Dan River Region. The Museum’s vision is to provide leadership in the Dan River Region for integrated awareness of history, culture, and community. The Danville Museum of Art and History is a large campus housing (1) A Research Center (House 126), (2) A Studio Building that has ceramic and printing equipment (Swanson Studio) (3) The Museum currently offers the Museum Auditorium and the “See and Do” Room as exhibition spaces. We will be looking at a lot of renovations in the next year and our spaces will need to be shared. However, the Auditorium offers a communal area where many will see the works of art and be better able to engage.
