[edit] Walter O. Evans Collections of African American Art
The Walter O. Evans Collection of African American Art is one of the most important collections of African American visual art dating from the 18th century up to the present.
The collection has been exhibited at many art museums around the country, including the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester in New York[1], the Columbia Museum of Art[2] in South Carolina, the Detroit Institute of Arts[3] in Michigan and the Tacoma Art Museum[4] in Washington.
In 2006, part of the collection was donated to the museum.[5]
[edit] Earle W. Newton Center for British and American Studies
Created by Earle W. Newton in 2001, this collection of reference materials covers the interconnections between the two countries in the 17th, 18th and 19 centuries. It also has several hundred portrait paintings by artists from both countries.[6]
