Influenced by African artists who use recycled and repurposed materials, and in an effort to be green and sensitive to our environment, the 36th Annual Black Doll Show asked artists to mine studios, kitchens, and thrift stores for raw materials, mixing old and new to create contemporary works of art that move beyond traditional doll making.

Artists in this year’s Black Doll Show include Adah Glenn (AfroPuff), Amaechina Anyanwu, Audrey Chan, Barbara Flemings, Beverly Collins, Cheryl Williams, DCastro, Dolores Johnson, Ingrid Elburg, Joe Sam, Judy Ragagli, Karl Jean-Guerly Petion, Kimberly J. Wilfong Sigman, Lavialle Campbell, Marita Dingus, Mark Steven Greenfield, Roz Brown, Sandra Zebi, Stephanie Moore, Suesan Stovall, Sybil McMiller, Teresa Tolliver, Timothy Washington, Timothy Bellavia, and more as well as work from the collections of Billie J. Green and Mar Hollingsworth.

Opening concert on December 10 will welcome back and feature live jazz by the WGSAC house band, Marcus L. Miller Ensemble.
