Constructing Identity: Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, 1/28 –6/18/17 | object list

The Petrucci Family Foundation collection of African-American artists from the 20th and 21st centuries is not only a wonderful way to view compelling works of art, but it is also a unique opportunity to introduce and expand our understanding of artists and movements often overlooked. The Portland Art Museum’s 2017 presentation from the collection, entitled Constructing Identity, featured Kara Walker, Avel de Knight, Donald E. Camp, Paul Keene and Moe Brooker, among others. For our Museum, the exhibition and its programs allowed us to jumpstart our community’s appreciation of some of our country’s most consequential artists that have not been part of the traditional historical narrative. The impact was profound and it was a true honor to partner with the PFF’s founder Jim and his entire team. I look forward to future collaborations.

NCHGS was pleased to recently work with the Petrucci Family Foundation’s Collection of African American Art. We collaborated to create an exhibition that was on view for nine months at the Sigal Museum in downtown Easton, PA. We sought to tell the story (and start a conversation about) the Black community’s relationship with the idea of American patriotism. Our museum collection did not contain the powerful images we needed to help present this timely conversation. Thankfully, PFF stepped in and provided dozens of pieces on loan. Their world class collection and their staff expertise helped us create an extremely popular exhibition with record breaking attendance that reached across all spectrums of our community. We are extremely grateful to them and look forward to working together again in the future.
