Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Contemporary art museum at Spelman College, Atlanta, United States
The Spelman College Museum of Fine Art displays over 1,000 works including paintings, sculptures, photography, and mixed media installations. The galleries span multiple spaces and showcase a wide range of contemporary artistic expression.
The museum opened in 1996 as part of Spelman College and grew into a leading institution for art education at historically Black colleges. Its founding marked an important step in recognizing and supporting African American artistic voices.
The collection focuses on work by women artists from the African diaspora, with exhibitions exploring how gender, race, and identity shape artistic expression. Visitors encounter perspectives and voices that are rarely seen in other museums.
The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 5 PM and is fully wheelchair accessible throughout. It is helpful to check the website beforehand for any updates or special exhibition information.
This is the only museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to art by women from the African diaspora. This specialized focus makes it a singular place to explore artists whose work is rarely shown elsewhere.
