Denée Barr ~ Award Winning Multimedia Artist, Photographer~Videographer, Vocalist, Philanthropist, Innovator Strategist ~ I earned a Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Grant for artistic excellence in photography, Howard University Solo International Vocalist Competition 1st Place Award, and my mixed media works are in many private and public collections including the "Heart of DC" : Wilson Building City Hall Permanent Art Collection and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Public Art Collection. My fine art photographs have toured on exhibit in the UK via the Ikon Gallery of Birmingham, England and the eastern Caribbean with presentations archived at the American Folklife Center, the Library of Congress, and the Organization of American States. I believe art, culture, and music can move people forward with a greater sense of community, wellness, and appreciation for our humanity. Wherever I travel with my voice, music, and art I am humbled and grateful to engage people positively. www.deneebarrartnews.blogspot.com + See Link! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. www.creativemornings.com/people/deneebarr photos c Denée Barr ~.

Denee Barr Photographic on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in Washington, DC where historian Charles L. Blockson donated about 40 objects from Harriett Tubman's life to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. The museum is slated to open near the Washington Monument in 2015. Blockson, 76, is a prominent collector of black history. The Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection at Temple University in Philadelphia started with a donation of 20,000 items in 1984 and has grown to more than 200,000 items including slave narratives, art and rare texts.

p.s.

Harriet Tubman's favorite hymnal from 1876 and a silk shawl given to Ms. Tubman by Queen Victoria of England are among some of the artifacts donated by Charles L. Blockson to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Millennium Arts Salon opens its 2008-2009 season with A Conversation with Mary Anne Rose about “Gentry and Friends”, Saturday, September 13, 6-8pm at Millennium Arts Salon, 1213 Girard St NW, Washington, DC.


Millennium Arts Salon’s series, It’s All About Art, continues, this year with the theme “Between East and West”, referring not only to the east and west borders of the continental US, but extending further east and west to Europe and Asia. As in the past, It’s All About Art will encompass a focus on visual and performing arts and arts and letters.

MAS is pleased to kick off its new season with this exciting and important salon. Herbert Gentry’s influence as an artist crosses many borders. Gentry was born and raised in Harlem, NY, where he became grounded in the rich cultural influences of the Harlem Renaissance. He enriched his artistic prowess through his explorations in Paris, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, settling during the 2nd half of his life to a dual habitation in New York City and Malmo, Sweden. As Parish Gallery noted, “Gentry’s friendships illuminate his movement through the world; they were part of his rich experiences.” Enjoy this magnificent exhibit of Gentry’s work surrounded by his friends, many giants in the contemporary art world (Romare Bearden, Ed Clark, Beauford Delaney, Bill Hutson, Lois Mailou Jones, Richard Mayhew, Sam Middleton, Rachelle Puryear, and Vincent Smith, to name a few) at Parish Gallery extended through September 13. Then join us at Millennium Arts Salon the evening of September 13 for an intimate conversation with artist Mary Anne Rose, Gentry’s wife and confidant for over 25 years. Mary Anne’s salon will include slides of some of the works on view in the Parish exhibition as well as a book signing of the newly released Herbert Gentry: the Man, the Master, the Magic, published by G. R. N’Namdi Gallery.

This event is FREE and open to the public.
This event is jointly sponsored by Millennium Arts Salon and Parish Gallery
