    We place art in the community.

    Our Mission.

    October Gallery Museum installs and places art, prints and posters in schools, recreation/cultural centers, business offices, universities, grocery stores and more within the community. Art is to be experienced at many levels every day. It is just as important as the drug store, the gas station, the food market. 

    Placing art throughout the community is the goal of the museum.

    This is why we offer the Free Poster Collage Walls.

    Contemporary Black Art & Black Baby Boomers

    1985 -2010

    Golden Age of African American Contemporary Art

    Boomers Supported Black Art & Artists

    A poster was created by the staff at October Gallery to recognize the Black Baby Boomer Generation. The Black baby boomers were born in the USA between 1946 and 1964. This generation became of age during the effects of “Jim Crow South”, by and large sported an Afro hair do, wore a dashiki, read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, attended Black universities, marched for civil rights, then joined the work force and had available to them more disposable funds to claim their culture by collecting Black art and supporting Black artists. This became the era as described by artist Larry “Poncho” Brown as the “Golden Age of African-American Art”. 

    DONATE! Help Build the Collection

    Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve the collection. Your generous donation will fund our efforts to bring more art to the community through providing free poster walls in schools with seminars and lectures.
