PAST EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS

This exhibition provides an overview of the work of Loïs Mailou Jones (1905 – 1998), a pioneering and accomplished 20th century artist, spanning her career from the late Harlem Renaissance to her contemporary synthesis of African, Caribbean, American and African American iconography. Despite formidable racial and gender prejudices, Jones achieved success as a designer and painter. Her influence as a teacher impacted several generations of Black artists in the United States and beyond.

Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color is organized by the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC, in collaboration with the Loïs Mailou Jones Pierre-Noël Trust, and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. The exhibition is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
