LOCATED ON a one-acre site at 18524 Brooke Road, Sandy Spring, in Maryland the Sandy Spring Slave Museum and African Art Gallery was co-founded in the 1 960s by two brothers, Drs. Bernard and Winston Anderson, Jamaican immigrants who studied at Howard University. Further, many people in the Sandy Spring environs played an important role in the anti-slavery movement. For example, Sarah and Bernard Gilpin, a white couple, used their home as a station on the Underground Railroad and the Sandy Spring Friends' Meeting house built in 1817 was a place of worship for local Quakers who were involved in the anti-slavery movement. The museum and art gallery established by the Anderson brothers was created to focus on the heritage of black people from their place of origin in Africa through the Tra...

Although the human eye can distinguish millions of different colors, any art instructor knows the true test of an artist's ability is proven in the Spartan realm of black and white. Sue Helms of Whittier will be among 10 local artists participating in the "Simply Black and White" exhibit this month at the Framery and Fine Art Gallery on Whittier Boulevard.
The artist, in a sense, has no choice but to be an activist, an advocate and transformative agent for depicting the issues of injus-' tice that we as a nation and society should be aware of if we are concerned about promoting peace and equity," said Brenda M. Greene, Ph.D., the executive director of the Center for Black Literature at Medgar Evers College. "We as a culture and people must do more to support, nurture and protect our artists. They are our visionaries, our witnesses who ensure that we document our lives and experiences. They have made conscious decisions to live and think outside the box. They uncover assumptions and challenge us to think about the images, words and social and political situations that we encounter on a daily basis. Our artists also forecast future directi...

The photographer is hoping to attract, aside from the general public, corporate collectors and decorators to his gallery - "people who need images to put in condos or buildings," he suggests. They'll find much to choose from - along with the Vermont shots, vintage images from his book The First Time I Saw Paris, and "some from the 1957 wine harvest in Margaux," he says.

I've always wanted to do that.
In a vast rectangular gallery with towering black walls, a torrent of sound blasts out of invisible speakers at an ear- splitting 86 decibels. On a gigantic projection screen, an ebullient trio of young men from Jakarta, Indonesia -- one with chunky glasses, one with a white Superman shirt and another with a huge mass of curly black hair -- joyfully delivers an off-pitch rendition of the Smiths' "Bigmouth Strikes Again.
Photo Gallery: Black Friday Pictures MONTEBELLO - If not for the darkness of the predawn hour, the parking lot at The Shops at Montebello Friday resembled a busy afternoon.
This is Pentimenti's second international project, fueled by gallerist Christine Pfister's desire "to make my contribution to the cultural fabric of communities here and abroad," she said in an email. Pfister's first cross-cultural project was a juried three-month artists' residency in Switzerland in 2003 that was won by Vox Populi artist Joseph Hu. The Print Center's "79th Annual International Competition: Printmaking" is a great opportunity to take the pulse of printmaking in the world.
