The University of Virginia Art Museum presents a small survey of African-American fine and folk art from the 19th century to the present in an exhibition titled "Charlottesville Collects African-American Art," on display in the Graphics Gallery. Prints and photographs have been selected from the University of Virginia Art Museum's collection, as well as selected collections in the Charlottesville community.

The exhibit is co-curated by Andrea Douglas, curator of collections and exhibitions, and Carmenita Higgenbotham, assistant professor of American art in U.Va.'s McIntire Department of Art.
