On view will be Robinson’s monumental Presidential ‘RagGonNon’ dedicated to Barack Obama and new work by Burley, who received her BFA in 2016 from the Columbus College of Art & Design. Also included are works by Ringgold on view for the first time in Columbus and new paintings by Gumby, curator of To Dream Avant-Garde, also in celebration of the Harlem Renaissance, opening in September at Hammond Harkins Galleries. Please join us for Northern Suns in honor of one of the most culturally influential periods in American history.
