Explore Black History Month at the Bush Library: Local African American Art Exhibit
Black History Month celebrates the profound achievements of African Americans throughout history. The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum invites visitors to experience a unique art showcase that honors local African American artists and their lasting impact on the community.
The exhibit, titled Art Past and Present: From a Black Artist's Perspective, features over two dozen works ranging from delicate pencil drawings and intricate clay sculptures to expansive paintings, including a striking rendition of the Dallas skyline. Many pieces are created by students from the acclaimed Booker T. Washington School of the Arts in Downtown Dallas, highlighting emerging local talent.
Open until February 23, the exhibit offers a compelling look at how African American creativity shapes Dallas culture. The museum remains open year‑round, except for major holidays.
Miss this month’s show? Next month’s “Portraits of Courage” will display President Bush’s own paintings honoring U.S. military members who served since 9/11.
Plan your visit to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum today and witness the vibrant stories of Black excellence.
