Helped by Bill Cosby, the artist Alonzo Adams frames the African-American experience
Alonzo Adams was working by day as a salesman for an electronics and appliance chain and taking art classes in the evening when he unwittingly planted the seeds of his commercial success and acclaim as a painter of the African-American experience. Due to a facilities emergency in the Puck Building, the gallery exhibition, featuring many of Adams's figurative works in oils, originally scheduled for February 1 has been postponed until later this month. The exhibition commemorates Black History Month. Read more about the artist.
