Beyond the Frame: African American Comic Book Artists
Temporary Exhibition Gallery
Sponsored by
National Endowment for the Arts
Beyond the Frame: African American Comic Book Artists presents the work of African American artists working in commercial, self-published, and web-based comic book and graphic novel genres. The exhibition reflects a cross-section of artists, some well established, others emerging and active in new areas of publication, such as Internet-based web comic art. Beyond the Frame explores the styles and subject matter of artists working in the commercial sector, as well as those whose work emphasizes culturally relevant themes of racial identity, family life, hip-hop culture, and African American history. Organized by the FIA with assistance from John Jennings, Professor of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and comic book industry artist Robert Stull, the exhibition is presented in coordination with educational and art school programming at the Flint Institute of Arts.
