In the early 1970s, the Feminist Art Movement in the United States began to promote primarily White women’s art; and the 1970s Black Arts Movement promoted Black male artists. However, neither movement catered to the needs of Black women artists. As a Black feminist artist born in the United States and feeling isolated from Black women artist support networks, in this essay, I bring visibility to the Black Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s; and explore how to rebuild a supportive community for Black female artists in current times. I interviewed four Black women artists who ranged in age from 40 to 67 years. Their narratives convey their experiences and feelings of abandonment by mainstream galleries and museums and isolation as artists due to their race and gender. I argue that there is a need for greater visibility of contemporary Black women artist, which requires a support network to achieve exhibition in mainstream galleries and museums.

The emergence of black women artists: the 1970s, New York.
Brown, Kay, 1932-
International Review of African American Art; 1998, Vol. 15 Issue 1, p45
Part of a special issue on African-American art of the 1960s and 1970s. Artist Kay Brown discusses the emergence of black women artists in New York in the 1970s. Although the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s was one of the greatest advancements in African-American visual art in history, black women artists were underrepresented at the movement’s onset, and it was not until the spring of 1971 that they began finally to make a breakthrough as a group. The first group show of professional black women artists in known history was “Where We At Black Women Artists: 1971,” held at the Acts of Art Gallery in New York. The show was acclaimed throughout New York, and its success inspired the artists involved to form a collective, the “Where We At” Black Women Artists, Inc. The writer goes on to discuss the activities of the group, whose members continued to be active in New York, presenting shows for special events and exhibiting throughout the U.S. and abroad.

She’s so Articulate: Black Women Artists Reclaim the Narrative: Arlington, VA. Alternate (Exhibit Review)
Frederick, Helen
Art Papers; September/October 2008, Vol. 32 Issue 5, p54-54, 1p
A review of “She’s so Articulate: Black Women Artists Reclaim the Narrative,” an exhibition at the Arlington Arts Center in Arlington, Virginia, from June 10 to July 19, 2008. Featuring work by 11 African-American women artists, this show reassesses the relationship between history, story, and divergent perceptions of black identity while providing broad insights into the role of narration in contemporary life. Layering images derived from many traditions and taking ownership of their stories to reclaim personal narration and cultural discourse, these artists draw viewers into sequences of provocative, irreverent, humorous, and emotionally disturbing material.
