The Friends of African and African American Art

The Friends of African and African American Art was founded to celebrate, stimulate, and encourage the study of works created by African and African American artists. Since 2003 members have enjoyed and supported a variety of informational programs at the Cleveland Museum of Art and at a variety of venues throughout northeast Ohio and beyond. We welcome you to join us in promoting our mission.
