SUMMARY:The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure at NCMA
DESCRIPTION:Experience “The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure”\, a powerful and timely exhibition organized by the National Portrait Gallery\, London.

Presented by the North Carolina Museum of Art\, with support from the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources\, the NCMA Foundation\, and the William R. Kenan Jr. Endowment for Educational Exhibitions. \nResearch for this exhibition was made possible by Ann and Jim Goodnight/the Andrew W.
