Negro Leagues Project
In celebration of a century since the formation of the Negro National League, 240 color studies of various well-known and unsung Negro and Latin American League players were commissioned to be the basis of a traveling show in 2020.
Here are some images from the spaces displaying and utilizing the artwork, as well as a selection of paintings from the exhibition.
