Don’t miss this program featuring 2020 Driskell Prize winner Jamal Cyrus. Cyrus will cover the important role autodidacticism plays within his work and in Black American culture at large.
The Driskell Prize, named for the renowned African American artist and art scholar, was established by the High in 2005 as the first national award to celebrate an early- or midcareer scholar or artist whose work makes an original and important contribution to the field of African American art or art history. Since the prize’s inception, the funds have supported the acquisition of fifty works by African American artists for the High’s collection.
