FEBRUARY: Fine Art Museums of San Francisco announce the acquisition of more than 60 works by 22 African American artists from the South from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation through a gift/purchase arrangement. The foundation is collaborating with museums to broaden the representation of Southern contemporary artists such as Thornton Dial, Bessie Harvey, Lonnie Holley, Ronald Lockett, Joe Minter, Jessie T. Pettway, Mose Tolliver, and Purvis Young, in their collections. The news follows a similar acquisition from the foundation by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and later transactions with the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and New Orleans Museum of Art.
