Overtown / Park West CRA Program Proposal and Proposed Budget 2022-2023 About Hampton Art Lovers (HAL) Hampton Art Lovers' mission is to accentuate the inspirational unifying -m and enriching aspects of African -American Fine Art in new and old settings. We are passionate supporters of Hampton University's longstanding commitment to African -American art, the Hampton HAMPTON ART LOITERS University Museum Collection, and the International Review of African American (Published by the University since 1976). Hampton Art Lovers honors the heart and soul of African -American fine artists and make their work discoverable by anyone who loves art Hampton Art Lovers believes that understanding culture increasingly vital in the modern world. We live in a knowledge economy where demonetization is rampant It is a world in which technology can render previously expensive and/or inaccessible products and services much cheaper -or even free. Intense, experiential learning is the currency of the knowledge economy and lovers of art do this naturally. Hampton Art Lovers believe that through culture and education we can improve our communities and communities all over the world. Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery Since 2018, Hampton Art Lovers has been the proud operators of the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, owned by the S.E. Overtown / Park West CRA and the centerpiece of the Historic Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master Plan. Built in the era of Overtown's historic heyday, when it was known as "Colored Town," the Ward Rooming House stands as a tribute to the history of the oldest historic black community in the City of Miami. Its location on NW 9th Street integrated it into the epicenter of Overtown's social life and business district. As one of the few remaining buildings of its time, a seemingly ordinary rooming house becomes significant for the larger role it serves in preserving the history and architecture of Miami's black community. The future of the Ward Rooming House looks promising because it is included in current Overtown preservation efforts for community development and rehabilitation. HAL/CRA Partnership Our partnership began fully in November 2018, with our Elizabeth Catlett show at the Ward and the Ernie Barnes Show at the OPAC (Art Basel 2018). We then extended the partnership through Black History Month. Based on the successes that followed, we mutually decided that a year long partnership was sustainable. Today, we are thankful for your investment in HAL to provide culture and programming at the Ward Rooming House. Our capacity has grown and we've shown results, we used your dollars wisely. We have been covered numerous times by the Miami Herald, Miami Times and National Media. We've hosted national personalities like Author and Professor Michael Eric Dyson and the General President of Alpha Phi Alpha and Chairman of the the Council of Presidents of the National Pan -Hellenic Council, Dr. Everett Ward. Our exhibitions included the HAL curated show of the private art collection of Maya Angelou. Our programming engages many facets of our community. We've created strategic partnerships with community based organizations and corporate partnerships showcasing the Ward Rooming House Gallery as place that all are welcome. Hampton Art Lovers 1 www.hamptonartlovers.com engages the community through the arts, we are a traditional gallery but we also make the effort to develop shows purely for exhibition. We have a public and a private mission which makes our relationship with the CRA the quintessential public/private partnership. So many people have visited the gallery and by doing so are reintroduced to Overtown, and its resurgent development led by your agency. These partnerships helped to stretch your investments. We've produced six shows plus our Art Basel Fair (Point Comfort). Although our grant last year only required four shows, we wanted to do more and we did so within budget. HAL/FIU Wolfsonian Partnership In the past year we've developed a formal partnership with Florida International University' Wolfsonian Museum's Public Humanities Lab. They approached us, and requested to be apart of our programming, they saw value in our work based on the innovative strategies we've developed to engage community. This WPHL collaboration with the Hampton Art Lovers and Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery began with four Story Gathering Saturdays, held from August to October of 2021. These community events collected and preserved oral histories of Black families and the Great Migration, which echoed and complemented our curated exhibition, "One Way Ticket: Movement, Migrations and Liberty." That exhibition explored stories of freedom and liberty through the poetry of Langston Hughes and artwork of Jacob Lawrence, with other works from Charles White, Basil Watson, John Biggers, Charles Alston, David Driskell, Leroy Campbell, Anthony Reed II (Mojo) and Marvin Weeks. These free community events featured live jazz and fish fry courtesy of Captain Gooch. Selected Events from Last Year: • Overtown Birthday Celebration • Planet Afropunk Welcome Reception • Poetry Under a Simple Tree • Shine a Light on Racism and Antisemitism: Black and Jewish Relations • View from the Upper Room: Bob Dylan and Greg Tate • Films Under a Simple Tree: Light Found in the Dark, The Life of Steve Gallon (Part II) • Too Black Too Fast : Art Exhibit showcasing history of African American jockeys *See attached pictures Point Comfort Art Fair (2021) Hampton Art Lovers (HAL) presented its 3rd installment of its Miami Art Week/Art Basel/Soul Basel art fair and show in 2021, during Art Basel and Miami Art Week. Point Comfort Art Fair + Show was held at the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, in Historic Overtown, Miami. The art show was held inside the gallery and the art fair behind the gallery in a fully enclosed, controlled tent Point Comfort showcased the works of contemporary and appreciated artists. On display in the gallery and in a temperature - controlled tent attached to Historic Ward Rooming House. The Art Fair also hosted events, including our Indaba Artists Conversations, Music and Cultural Nightlife Events. Point Comfort was an enormous success, and community driven with free access to local residents. We partnered with B.E.T (Black Entertainment Television), Duke & Dame Spirits, Alpha Phi Alpha Sorority, Wilkie D. Ferguson Bar Association, Florida International University / Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab, Florida New Majority; just to name a few of our corporate and community partners. 2 We are a proud partner of Soul Basel. Soul Basel was formed to ensure that Black Art and Culture has a place and a home in Miami during Art Basel/Miami Art Week. Soul Basel is centered in Overtown and sponsored and supported by the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPWCRA) and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) Art of Black Miami. The name "Point Comfort" is derived from the place in colonial Virginia where the first captives from the West African Kingdom of Ndongo (Angola) arrived in late August of 1619. History teaches us that although the people of Ndongo and other African tribes lost their native tongues, many of their traditions continue in the song, dance, arts, rituals and cuisine of today's African American community. "Point Comfort Art Fair + Show" celebrates these remnants, we are thankful for what has survived and we showcase the African -American contributions to American fine art it has produced. One of our key contributions to Miami Art Week is to showcase historical collections from Black institutions, this year we featured "One Way Ticket: Movement, Migration and Liberty featuring Langston Hughes, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, Henry Tanner, Lois Mailou Jones and Elizabeth Catlett" from The Norwood Collection. African -Americans have always attempted to find freedom in foreign lands, whether from the South to the North during the Great Migration, or to Mexico where Elizabeth Catlett fled to in the 1940s to escape the American government Henry Tanner left Philadelphia in the 1890s to Paris to become the first internationally recognized African -American Artist or Louis Mailou Jones who found a home in France and Haiti and became the first Black female artist to attain international fame. These artists are worthy to be honored as pioneers. Some took a "One Way Ticket" to never return to their birthplaces, we celebrate their boldness to dream and aspire for respect outside of the confines of America. Point Comfort's 2021 Cultural Ambassador was artist Bisa Butler. Bisa's cultural impact may exceed her art someday soon. In her work she is telling the story— The African American side— of this American life. Her use of vintage photos to bring light to untold stories through the medium of quilting is not just art. Butler's works build on a long tradition, African -American women were needed for spinning, weaving, sewing and quilting on plantations and in other wealthy households in the antebellum south. As a historical textile art form, quilting is indelibly linked to the past Black quiltmakers were obliged to encrypt messages in their quilts. They communicated with one another using signs and symbols both ordinary and supernatural. Bisa Butler's work today is beyond art,and we're honored to have her join Point Comfort as our cultural ambassador.

Overtown / Park West CRA Program Proposal and Proposed Budget 2022-2023 About Hampton Art Lovers (HAL) Hampton Art Lovers' mission is to accentuate the inspirational unifying -m and enriching aspects of African -American Fine Art in new and old settings. We are passionate supporters of Hampton University's longstanding commitment to African -American art, the Hampton HAMPTON ART LOITERS University Museum Collection, and the International Review of African American (Published by the University since 1976). Hampton Art Lovers honors the heart and soul of African -American fine artists and make their work discoverable by anyone who loves art Hampton Art Lovers believes that understanding culture increasingly vital in the modern world. We live in a knowledge economy where demonetization is rampant It is a world in which technology can render previously expensive and/or inaccessible products and services much cheaper -or even free. Intense, experiential learning is the currency of the knowledge economy and lovers of art do this naturally. Hampton Art Lovers believe that through culture and education we can improve our communities and communities all over the world. Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery Since 2018, Hampton Art Lovers has been the proud operators of the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, owned by the S.E. Overtown / Park West CRA and the centerpiece of the Historic Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master Plan. Built in the era of Overtown's historic heyday, when it was known as "Colored Town," the Ward Rooming House stands as a tribute to the history of the oldest historic black community in the City of Miami. Its location on NW 9th Street integrated it into the epicenter of Overtown's social life and business district. As one of the few remaining buildings of its time, a seemingly ordinary rooming house becomes significant for the larger role it serves in preserving the history and architecture of Miami's black community. The future of the Ward Rooming House looks promising because it is included in current Overtown preservation efforts for community development and rehabilitation. HAL/CRA Partnership Our partnership began fully in November 2018, with our Elizabeth Catlett show at the Ward and the Ernie Barnes Show at the OPAC (Art Basel 2018). We then extended the partnership through Black History Month. Based on the successes that followed, we mutually decided that a year long partnership was sustainable. Today, we are thankful for your investment in HAL to provide culture and programming at the Ward Rooming House. Our capacity has grown and we've shown results, we used your dollars wisely. We have been covered numerous times by the Miami Herald, Miami Times and National Media. We've hosted national personalities like Author and Professor Michael Eric Dyson and the General President of Alpha Phi Alpha and Chairman of the the Council of Presidents of the National Pan -Hellenic Council, Dr. Everett Ward. Our exhibitions included the HAL curated show of the private art collection of Maya Angelou. Our programming engages many facets of our community. We've created strategic partnerships with community based organizations and corporate partnerships showcasing the Ward Rooming House Gallery as place that all are welcome. Hampton Art Lovers 1 www.hamptonartlovers.com engages the community through the arts, we are a traditional gallery but we also make the effort to develop shows purely for exhibition. We have a public and a private mission which makes our relationship with the CRA the quintessential public/private partnership. So many people have visited the gallery and by doing so are reintroduced to Overtown, and its resurgent development led by your agency. These partnerships helped to stretch your investments. We've produced six shows plus our Art Basel Fair (Point Comfort). Although our grant last year only required four shows, we wanted to do more and we did so within budget. HAL/FIU Wolfsonian Partnership In the past year we've developed a formal partnership with Florida International University' Wolfsonian Museum's Public Humanities Lab. They approached us, and requested to be apart of our programming, they saw value in our work based on the innovative strategies we've developed to engage community. This WPHL collaboration with the Hampton Art Lovers and Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery began with four Story Gathering Saturdays, held from August to October of 2021. These community events collected and preserved oral histories of Black families and the Great Migration, which echoed and complemented our curated exhibition, "One Way Ticket: Movement, Migrations and Liberty." That exhibition explored stories of freedom and liberty through the poetry of Langston Hughes and artwork of Jacob Lawrence, with other works from Charles White, Basil Watson, John Biggers, Charles Alston, David Driskell, Leroy Campbell, Anthony Reed II (Mojo) and Marvin Weeks. These free community events featured live jazz and fish fry courtesy of Captain Gooch. Selected Events from Last Year: • Overtown Birthday Celebration • Planet Afropunk Welcome Reception • Poetry Under a Simple Tree • Shine a Light on Racism and Antisemitism: Black and Jewish Relations • View from the Upper Room: Bob Dylan and Greg Tate • Films Under a Simple Tree: Light Found in the Dark, The Life of Steve Gallon (Part II) • Too Black Too Fast : Art Exhibit showcasing history of African American jockeys *See attached pictures Point Comfort Art Fair (2021) Hampton Art Lovers (HAL) presented its 3rd installment of its Miami Art Week/Art Basel/Soul Basel art fair and show in 2021, during Art Basel and Miami Art Week. Point Comfort Art Fair + Show was held at the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, in Historic Overtown, Miami. The art show was held inside the gallery and the art fair behind the gallery in a fully enclosed, controlled tent Point Comfort showcased the works of contemporary and appreciated artists. On display in the gallery and in a temperature - controlled tent attached to Historic Ward Rooming House. The Art Fair also hosted events, including our Indaba Artists Conversations, Music and Cultural Nightlife Events. Point Comfort was an enormous success, and community driven with free access to local residents. We partnered with B.E.T (Black Entertainment Television), Duke & Dame Spirits, Alpha Phi Alpha Sorority, Wilkie D. Ferguson Bar Association, Florida International University / Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab, Florida New Majority; just to name a few of our corporate and community partners. 2 We are a proud partner of Soul Basel. Soul Basel was formed to ensure that Black Art and Culture has a place and a home in Miami during Art Basel/Miami Art Week. Soul Basel is centered in Overtown and sponsored and supported by the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPWCRA) and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) Art of Black Miami. The name "Point Comfort" is derived from the place in colonial Virginia where the first captives from the West African Kingdom of Ndongo (Angola) arrived in late August of 1619. History teaches us that although the people of Ndongo and other African tribes lost their native tongues, many of their traditions continue in the song, dance, arts, rituals and cuisine of today's African American community. "Point Comfort Art Fair + Show" celebrates these remnants, we are thankful for what has survived and we showcase the African -American contributions to American fine art it has produced. One of our key contributions to Miami Art Week is to showcase historical collections from Black institutions, this year we featured "One Way Ticket: Movement, Migration and Liberty featuring Langston Hughes, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, Henry Tanner, Lois Mailou Jones and Elizabeth Catlett" from The Norwood Collection. African -Americans have always attempted to find freedom in foreign lands, whether from the South to the North during the Great Migration, or to Mexico where Elizabeth Catlett fled to in the 1940s to escape the American government Henry Tanner left Philadelphia in the 1890s to Paris to become the first internationally recognized African -American Artist or Louis Mailou Jones who found a home in France and Haiti and became the first Black female artist to attain international fame. These artists are worthy to be honored as pioneers. Some took a "One Way Ticket" to never return to their birthplaces, we celebrate their boldness to dream and aspire for respect outside of the confines of America. Point Comfort's 2021 Cultural Ambassador was artist Bisa Butler. Bisa's cultural impact may exceed her art someday soon. In her work she is telling the story— The African American side— of this American life. Her use of vintage photos to bring light to untold stories through the medium of quilting is not just art. Butler's works build on a long tradition, African -American women were needed for spinning, weaving, sewing and quilting on plantations and in other wealthy households in the antebellum south. As a historical textile art form, quilting is indelibly linked to the past Black quiltmakers were obliged to encrypt messages in their quilts. They communicated with one another using signs and symbols both ordinary and supernatural. Bisa Butler's work today is beyond art,and we're honored to have her join Point Comfort as our cultural ambassador.
