The Cinque Artist Program is named after the Cinque Gallery founded by artists Romare Bearden, Norman Lewis, and Ernest Crichlow in the late 60s. The gallery served as a catalyst for artists and curators of color to exhibit, but also as a place for networking and building community. Our series promotes presentations from professionals, and practical information, as well as provides a platform for artists to showcase their work. We encourage adult artists, students, and enthusiasts to share in discussions in an intimate setting.
The Cinque Artists Program is supported, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
The Bearden Foundation’s programs and activities are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
Additional support is generously provided by the Mellon Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, and other foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
The Romare Bearden Foundation is a participant of the Harlem Cultural Collaborative of Harlem One Stop
