Amy Spencer, executive director at the Richmond Art Center, expressed elation for hosting the exhibit, calling it important for Richmond and the Bay Area. "Now more than ever, it’s essential to provide exposure and access for all to art - viewing it, learning art history and space to create it," Spencer said. Irene Bee Kain, curator and vice-chair of the Art of the African Diaspora Steering Committee, noted this is the longest running show featuring Black artists in the U.S. "And it gets bigger and better each year," Kain said.
