NLBM Shades of Greatness May 25 – July 7, 2024

In summer 2024, the Museum of African American Art hosted Shades of Greatness: Art Inspired by Negro Leagues Baseball, a 6-week traveling art exhibition from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. The exhibit featured 35 original works of art produced by 28 artists who interpret the Negro Leagues experience on and off the playing field.

Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism

Two oil paintings from the Museum of African American Art's Palmer C. Hayden Collection — Fétiche et Fleurs (above on the right) and Beale Street Blues (not pictured) — were on loan to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for the Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism exhibition from February 25 through July 28, 2024.

exhibition proposals

We appreciate the exhibition inquiries received from artists in the community who have visited the Museum of African American Art's exhibition space on Level 2, Suite 283, inside Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.
We are currently unable to consider unsolicited exhibit proposals. At our sole discretion, the museum may invite artists, curators, collectors, and institutions (or their representatives) to submit exhibit proposals. The submission of an exhibit proposal or images of artwork, at the museum's request or otherwise, does not constitute an exhibit agreement or the promise of a future exhibition at the Museum of African American Art.
Invited exhibition proposals are reviewed by the Executive Director and the Exhibition Committee of the MAAA Board of Directors. The museum considers several factors, including but not limited to: timeliness of the proposed exhibit, location of the artist and artwork, relevance to the museum's mission and priorities, readiness of the artwork for display, sponsorship and marketing, community interest, and art transporation and installation requirements.
To support artists in our community, MAAA may propose online exhibitions, spotlight artists on the MAAA website, or feature artists' work on our social media channels instead of creating in-person exhibitions at the museum. Approval of both the artist and the museum is required for online exhibitions, website spotlights, and social media posts.
