EXHIBIT: 30 Americans

This fall Corcoran Gallery of Art will be showcasing the exhibition "30 Americans", a group show of work by the past few decades amazing black artists. According to the website,

Provocative and confrontational, this exhibition focuses on issues of racial, sexual, and historical identity in contemporary culture, and explores the powerful influence of artistic legacy and community across generations.

The exhibit features work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Carrie Mae Weems and Lorna Simpson, just to name a few. It will be up in DC from October 1 to February 12. I don't know about you but I am excited.
