Charley Williams’ Winter Park-based collection spans the twentieth century and moves into the twenty-first. Because it focuses on African, Haitian, and African American art, it provides audiences with the opportunity to explore pan-African ideas that manifest themselves into the lives of three different places. Focusing on power, myth, and memory, we have that ability to see the importance of ritualistic ideas such as the “dream-soul,” animals as mediators, religious rituals, burial practices, and the importance of ancestors.

Included are works by Sister Gertrude Morgan, Clementine Hunter, David Butler, Ransom McCormick, Roi David Annisey, and Nellie Mae Rowe, as well as historic African masks, chairs, and fertility objects. These artists lift themselves up through faith, pride, and traditional practices thereby establishing diverse ways of transcending subjugation and finding strength. This artwork has extraordinary technical, historical, and symbolic weight that deserves the same respect given to traditional, western art.

The panel discussion will include Collector Charley Williams, Curator Kristin Congdon, and Curatorial Advisor and Haitian artist Patrick Noze.

This first-time, juried exhibition curated by Barbara Tiffany will showcase the human figure depicted in any medium, including painting, drawing, photography, ceramics and sculpture, representational or abstract and is open to all Crealdé’s faculty, students and members.

The opening reception was on Friday, May 10 from 7 – 9 pm.

Emerging artists from the Crealdé Painting and Drawing program share their talent in work produced during their fellowships.  The Crealdé Fellowship Program, since 1978, and the Studio Artist Program, since 1996, has mentored an average of 25 students per year through this work-study exchange.  This exhibition is curated by Barbara Tiffany, Curator of Exhibitions.

This exhibit will be featured at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center from April 12 to August 31, 2019.

The Hannibal Square Heritage Center unveiled 17 new portraits and living histories of their most senior residents – now in their 80s and 90s – who are natives or longtime residents of the African American west side Winter Park Community.

The oral interviews were lovingly captured by Heritage Center Historians Fairolyn Livingston and Mary Daniels, both longtime residents as well. The exquisite portraits of these elders were captured by documentary photographer Peter Schreyer.

Adding to the existing Sage Project permanent collection that dates to 2012, “These histories, however personal, have a familiarity that resonates with the residents of African American communities around the country,” explains Heritage Center Chief Historian Livingston.
