Three speakers discussed the legacy of the visual arts during the Harlem Renaissance as part of the second African-American Traditions summer seminar. They are, from top, Richard Mayhew, professor emeritus of art and fellow emeritus of the Penn State Institute for the Arts and Humanistic Studies; Dr. Floyd Coleman, professor of art and chairman of the Department of Art at Howard University; and Dr. Grace Hampton, professor of art and art education and executive assistant to the provost for Development of the Arts at Penn State. They focused on the impact of the visual arts from the Harlem Renaissance—the artistic, literary and intellectual movement of the 1920s and ’30s characterized by intense activity by African-Americans in the fields of art, dance, literature and music. The Institute for the Arts and Humanistic Studies is sponsoring the series of seminars through 2002, in collaboration with the College of Arts and Architecture, the College of Communications and the College of the Liberal Arts, Continuing Education and other University units.
