The Cedarburg Art Museum exhibition “Eye of the Beholder: African Americans Collecting Art,” which runs from May 20 through September 27, 2020, celebrates art with African American collectors predominantly living in Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties. The exhibition was conceived by the museum’s board president Blaine Gibson and curated by Milwaukee arts advocate and artist Evelyn Patricia Terry. Artworks by 54 artists in a multitude of media were chosen by Terry through the generosity of 24 collector-lenders.
