HELP US TELL YOUR HISTORY
Your objects tell the full story of Black life in the Adirondacks
We are seeking a wide range of materials, including photographs, souvenirs, letters, postcards, recipes, clothing, and video clips from the Adirondacks. Any object or memory that holds a piece of the story is a vital piece of this history.
All submissions will be considered based on collecting needs and institutional priorities and policies.
Fill out this online form or visit exhibition Curator Charles Clark III at one of our upcoming collecting events.

MAKING IT A REALITY
The People, Partners, and Funders Who Made This Exhibition Possible
EXHIBITION CURATOR
Charles Clark III
Charles employs a Pan-Africanist methodology, enriched by material cultural approach, to transform exhibition making in museums. His work addresses ethno cultural erasure and brings to light marginalized narratives within art history. His approach not only enhances the representation of diverse voices but also redefines the role of museums as spaces for critical dialogue and cultural exploration.
