Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, Art museum in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, United States.
The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts occupies a dedicated building in Fort Greene and presents exhibitions of contemporary works by Black artists. The venue houses a collection of paintings, sculptures, videos, and other art forms that explore diverse experiences and perspectives.
The museum was founded in 1999 in a church in Bedford-Stuyvesant and moved to its current building in Fort Greene in 2006. The relocation positioned the institution closer to the borough's cultural center and enabled greater expansion of its programs.
The museum showcases works by Black artists whose perspectives are often underrepresented in larger institutions. The exhibitions create a space where their voices and creative approaches take center stage.
Plan your visit for the weekend when the museum is regularly open to the public. Check opening hours before arriving, as they may vary depending on the season and special events.
The museum received major funding in 2012 from the Rockefeller Foundation for Public Exchange, a program that brought monthly concerts to neighborhood housing complexes. This initiative took art directly to people who might not otherwise have easy access to cultural events.
