February 1, 2021, New York – For 45 years Black History Month has recognized significant contributions by African Americans to US history. Gerald Ford was the first US president who officially devoted the month of February to this event, urging people to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Since then, many countries around the world have also dedicated a month to Black history.

Artios Gallery celebrates this event with the display of works by its represented artists of African descent. The exhibition, which is on display for the entire month of February, presents works of Cecil W. Lee and O. Yemi Tubi.
