BLACK WOMAN IN VISUAL PERSPECTIVE, a historical group of black professional female artists, established in 1972 was the inspiration of  GLADYS BARKER GRAUER. The group remained active through their 10th, 15th, and 20th year anniversaries.
In recognition of the founder, Gladys Barker Grauer, receiving the 2019 “Women’s Caucus For The Arts Lifetime Achievement Award," this exhibit will highlight the art of some of the surviving current members. It will also serve as a memoriam to her life and art in which she inspired provocation by making a difference.
