AFRICIAN AMERICAN ATELIER INC

Description

The "Grand Opening" of the African American Atelier featured the works of the Atelier founding member artists: Alma S. Adams, Vandorn Hinnant, James McMillan, Eva Hamlin Miller, Floyd Newkirk, Candice Ray and John Rogers. Eva Hamlin Miller served as the gallery’s first Curator and James McMillan was the first President. The Atelier has evolved into a venue or workshop/studio to showcase artistic works and contributions and culture of African Americans to the Guilford County community and the state of North Carolina. Local supporters, friends and corporate leaders sustained the operation of this visual arts gallery organization during its first year.
