An Artist Reception will be held on Thursday, September 3, from 6 to 8 p.m.

In her curatorial work, Angela N. Carroll has organized exhibitions that examine and celebrate Black identity and community memory, elevating artists and historical narratives in the Upper South. Her latest effort, Jerrell Gibbs: No Solace in the Shade at the Brandywine Museum of Art is accompanied by a monograph published by Rizzoli New York. As a scholar, Carroll has contributed critical writing to exhibition catalogs published by The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Des Moines Art Center, The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Nerman MOCA, and the CueArt Foundation, among many others. These writings evidence her significant contribution to contemporary art historical discourse. Carroll intermittently teaches at American University, MICA and UMBC.
