Although Black artists are underrepresented across the country, artists in San Antonio say it’s priceless to lay the foundation for the next wave of minority artists in their community.
SAN ANTONIO — Angela Weddle has been creating art since she was 3 years old.
Angela hasn’t let her disabilities stop her creativity. Her work is being featured at the Culture Commons Gallery in San Antonio. The exhibit is called “Between Yesterday and Tomorrow” — perspectives from Black contemporary artist. In a survey of U.S. museums between 2008 and 2020, Black artists’ work was included in about 6% of exhibits.
“I think it’s easy to let the predominate view in academia and artwork kind of speak for all artists,” Weddle said. “But by doing that, it was ignoring a whole set of artists.”
