Join us Saturday, June 21, at 4:45, or at 5:30 pm, for a tour of Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow, with BDA board members Jacqueline Lake-Sample and Stephen Tyson.

The exhibition honors the 50-year history of Black Dimensions in Art, Inc. (BDA), the Capital Region’s longest-running Black arts collective. Since its founding in 1975 in Schenectady, New York, BDA has promoted the art of the African diaspora through exhibitions, workshops, and other programs in the Capital Region and beyond. Up to Us is a collaboration among BDA, the Tang, and the John B. Moore Documentary Collaborative at Skidmore College (MDOCS).

At 6:30 pm, following the tours, head over to the Schick Art Gallery on the second floor of the Saisselin Art Building for a joint reception for BDA and the MDOCS 2025 Storytellers’ Institute Fellows’ Pop-Up Show.
