This event has ended.

Most art historians seem to think the first art images were created on cave walls. I think, however, the first art was created in the ground dirt. Regardless of whichever came first, it is universally established that the first art on paper was done on papyrus. Since that point in time, artists and art educators alike continuously share the sentiment that work produced on paper is of primary importance. As we actualize our thoughts through words or action, our ideas become resistant to change. With further deliberate thought, we manifest our ideas through mediums such as canvas, clay, or stone for even more permanence. History showcases works on paper and imparts a testament to the medium. Photographs, drawings, lithographs, serigraphs, and etchings by renowned artists Mickalene Thomas, Kehinde Wiley, Lyle Ashton Harris, Carrie Mae Weems, Romare Bearden, Norman Lewis, Jacob Lawrence, Chester Higgins, and Roy DeCarava comprise the variety of mediums and artists exhibited.
