ACA Galleries in New York is hosting "Continuum: Over 100 Years of Black Art," an expansive group exhibition running through March 7, 2026. The show features a diverse array of media—including painting, sculpture, textiles, and collage—by more than a dozen pioneering Black artists. Spanning from the 19th century to the present day, the exhibition highlights key figures such as still-life painter Charles Ethan Porter, collagist Romare Bearden, and contemporary textile artist Helen McBride Richter.
This exhibition underscores the gallery's long-standing commitment to American art and its role in championing Black artists who have historically been marginalized. By placing historical works in dialogue with contemporary pieces, the show rejects a monolithic view of Black art, instead celebrating its stylistic evolution and profound influence on the broader trajectory of American art history.
