For Black History Month, the Dupree Gallery, Lambertville, N.J., is opening a show titled “Our His-story Month” on Feb. 3.
It will be on view through Feb. 26, with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 11.
The exhibition showcases the importance of black voices in the art world, institutions, and society as a whole. The artwork on display will be from a range of artists from local and national communities, and the exhibition will be at the Lambertville location of the Dupree Gallery. Dupree Gallery is a black-owned business founded by artist James E. Dupree, a native of Philadelphia and has locations in both Philadelphia and Lambertville.
“There is an excellent quality, diversity, and range of artists exhibiting in this show. They are all a variety of emerging, established, and master artists. I want the legacy I established in my 50 years in Philadelphia to resonate here in Lambertville and to continue building upon my legacy in the fourth quarter of my life,” said Dupree.
This cultivated showcasing of black artists, whose ages and level of notoriety vary drastically, creates a well-rounded exhibition, the gallery said. Black History Month is an important time to raise black voices, and Dupree and those at Dupree Gallery said they are excited to provide artists with an opportunity to be seen and appreciated.
The artists Dupree Gallery is featuring in this exhibition are: Barbara Bullock, Bernard Collins, James E. Dupree, Claes Gabriel, E.B. Lewis, Phillip M. McConnell, Alloyius Mcilwaine, Sana Musasama, Preston Philmore, Serena Saunders, Jose A. Sebourne, Siri0m Singh, Don Stephens, Raphael Tiberino, Roederick Vines, Michael A. Wallace, Richard J. Watson, and Kenny White.
The Dupree Gallery is located at 10 N. Union St., Lambertville, and 703 S. 6th St., Philadelphia. Dupree Gallery Lambertville was opened in October, and is the gallery’s newest and second location. For information, call 640-203-8356 or email DupreeGallery@gmail.com.
