Black Dimensions in Art (BDA), founded in 1975 in Schenectady, New York, is a volunteer-led group of creatives and activists who continue to educate, encourage, and empower the conversations concerning Black artists and their visibility in the art world at large.
“Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow” honors BDA’s vibrant 50-year history through a collection of archival material, artworks by its member artists, and select works from the Tang Teaching Museum’s collection. As Black communities around the country create and claim space for themselves and a new generation of artists, “Up to Us” is as urgent as ever.
