PAST EXHIBITION

Beyond the Frame: African American Comic Book Artists

January 24, 2009—April 26, 2009

Organized by the FIA and John Jennings, Professor of Art and Design, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Beyond the Frame: African American Comic Book Artists presents a cross section of young and mature artists, some well established and others self-published. The exhibition explores a wide range of styles and subject matter, from artists working in the commercial genres and the emerging field of Internet “webcomics,” to those whose work addresses themes of racial identity, urban life, hip-hop culture, and African American family life.
