#BlackHistoryMonth spotlight on #ArtistActivist #BennyAndrews
🖼Images & ✍️🏾caption reposted from @acagalleries Benny Andrews’s (1930-2006) longstanding history with ACA Galleries is a testament to our commitment to amplifying the voices of impactful artists from all backgrounds, without exception. This Black History Month, we honor Andrews not only for his exceptional artwork but for his activism that challenged injustice and advocated for marginalized communities. From his debut solo exhibition at ACA in 1972 to his later works focused on civil rights, migration, and social justice, Andrews’s art was a catalyst for change. His legacy continues to resonate, demonstrating the lasting impact of art in driving change.
This Black History Month, we invite you to explore the extraordinary work of the artists ACA Galleries has had the privilege of working with. Their contributions continue to challenge, inspire, and redefine the cultural narrative.
