Cromwell, a Guyanese-born, second-generation visual artist featured in "The Other Room." For 32 years, St. Louis-based artist Robert Powell has collected and educated art lovers on the vast contributions of African Americans in fine visual arts. Powell is the founder of Portfolio Gallery & Education Center, which he launched in 1989 to raise awareness about how Black visual artists are largely overlooked in the industry. His latest curated exhibit at the Quincy Art Center continues that tradition. On view through July 23, “The Other Room” showcases six artists Powell believes deserve high recognition. As an example of how rarely Black artists are given the spotlight, his curator’s statement asks visitors to name five African American visual artists as well known as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Claude Monet.
