The first annual Black Artists'
Gathering was held last Friday at
PCC, Cascade Campus The pur
pose of the gathering was for Afn
can American artists to discuss the
problems they encounter in attemp
ting to sell and promote their art
work
During the 3 hour long forum en
titled "Black Artists Crucified in
Portland, Oregon", a panel of five
local artists, Isaac Shamsud Din.
Sherriann Haggard. Charlett Lewis.
Mario Jackson and H A Hagood,
discussed the obstacles confronting
African American artists and solu
tions to correct these problems
Each panelist agreed that as ar
tists they must do more in an effort
to make African Americans and the
general public aware of the impor
tance of Black artwork, do more
networking among themselves, and
establish a place where their art can
be viewed.
' Before we can promote our
work, we as African American ar
fists must first educate our own
people about the beauty of black
art All too olten, when you look on
the walls of many black homes, you
w on't find African American art on
them ," replied artist Sherriann Hag
gard
Haggard said it seems that every
10 to 20 years Black artists must
prove the meaning of their art
"Unless there is blood in our art, we
must explain its meaning," she said.
All five panel members said that
it was difficult for them to promote
and sell their work in Oregon They
blame this on racism, lack of public
awareness to the importance of
Black art, and the geographic loca
tion of Oregon. "It's very difficult
for an African American artist to
work in Portland
I've worked in
Chicago, New York and San Fran
cisco
The resources access to
things artists need to be successful
come so much easier This is not
the case here in Portland." Isaac
Shamsud Din said
Shamsud Dm and the other ar
tists said in order to correct the
problem, they must control their
own market and attend art commis
sron meetings to see what the com
mission is doing to promote and ad
dress the issues confronting Afri
can American artists in Portland.
He said that the State of Oregon
is almost at the bottom of the list
when it comes to funding Black
art "Funding for Black art projects
in this state over the last decade
has been less than 1 percent. There
is no committment in the state for
Black art "
Lewis said that since Reagan took
office, federal funding for the arts
has decreased dramatically. "This
has had a negative impact on the
ability of African American artists
to w ork,” said Lewis
The artists said that it's crucial
they make an all out effort to get an
art cultural center in the commu
nrty They said an art center could
assist the Black community and the
general public on the value of Afri
can American artwork serve as a
place where African American ar
lists could show lht*ir work and a
place where African American ar
lists could meet and discuss issues
related to their crafts
Besides the forum, the artists also
sponsored an exhibit and auction
D u ring the eve nt, local artists dis
played and sold then w o rk to the
