The 40th Annual Black Doll Show

All Dolled Up: A 40 Year Celebration of the William Grant Still Arts Center’s Annual Black Doll Show

December 12, 2020 - February 21, 2021

All Dolled Up: A 40 Year Celebration of the William Grant Still Arts Center’s Annual Black Doll Show, a year so special, we will open online and roll out in three parts with three themes. Our dolls are All Dolled up and unlike the rest of the world, have places to go. Join us for Getting Dolled Up December 12, 2020, Going to the Club January 9, 2021 and The Gala February 6, 2021. In this milestone exhibition, we will reflect on our forty years of the community coming together to present Black Dolls in all of their forms. Each year we glorified Black Dolls, either artist made and individual, manufactured and multiple or rare and collectible. We’ve included dolls of all sizes and shapes, various materials - carved, cloth, wood, metal, fabric, paper, corn husk, ceramic, and more. As we do each year, we will be fostering the continuation of this important genre of art through workshops. Get Dolled Up and join us for the opening of our exhibition on December 12 and three workshops, all virtual, all free. Check our 40th Black Doll Show website for more information and updates.
