WDSU, Hearst’s NBC affiliate in New Orleans, is airing a one-of-a-kind documentary
tonight that goes inside a landmark exhibition that recently debuted at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans.
A Space on the Canvas showcases the art collection of Pamela Joyner and her husband Fred Giuffrida, who are devoted to re-framing art history.
The exhibit displays art from African-American abstract artists from the 1940s to the present who Joyner and others believe have not received proper recognition due to race and societal prejudices of recent eras.
A Space on the Canvas explores this unique exhibit to tell the story of social struggle and change through the eyes and paint brushes of African American artists.
“A Space on the Canvas is a journey of rediscovery,” said Joel Vilmenay, WDSU’s general manager.
“This special is about celebrating the full spectrum of art and to ensure that all the wonderful, talented artists who have contributed have their rightful place in art history.”
