Barrington Watson-Drummer Oil on Canvas by Karen McCullin Sophomore Spelman Art Collection Displayed From the Preface of the Spelman Art Collections Program With the inauguration of Donald M. Stewart, Spelman college moves into a new era and its rich cultural tradition should expand into a new dimension. The heritage of Spelman College and the Atlanta University Center form one of the strongest tentacles of those “roots” which sustain the cultural foundation of black America. How wonderful to have had leaders dedicated toward the fostering of aes thetic awareness as well as intellectual and scientific proficiency! For here was formed an oasis within a vast wasteland of suppression, rejection, and frustration. The black artist, having no place to go, looked to the Atlanta University schools for the ultimate in inspired teaching in all the arts, and the black Atlanta community found here its only cultural contacts the drama, music, dance and the visual arts. W ,E .B . Dubois, Alaine Locke and James Porter helped to propel black thought toward creative expression grounded in a true knowledge of the wealth of its African heritage. So, in the early 80s when Florence Read of Spelman College and John Hope of Morehouse College and Atlanta University brought Hale Woodruff, painter, and Elizabeth Prophet, sculptor, to the Center, there was initiated a strong impetus for the. foster ing of the visual arts. And when Erick Berry in 1928 exhibited works at Spelman, four of her watercolors became the beginning of a Spelman Art Collection. The sincere dedication of President Albert Manley toward the enhancement of the visual arts at Spelman led to expanded facilities, an on-go ing “artist in residence" and exhibition program, and augmentation of the campus art collection. Let the future find new challenges; new excitement, as the Fine Arts of Spelman College continue to inspire students and to enhance the quality of life in the Atlanta community. The expressed commitment of Donald Stewart toward the con tinuation of Spelman's leadership in the visual arts promises a bright future. Jenelsie Walden Holloway Hans Bhalla
