John & Vivian Hewitt Collection of African-American Art

For more than 50 years, John and Vivian Hewitt visited galleries, artists’ studios and exhibitions, collecting hundreds of paintings, etchings, lithographs, collages and sketches. This assemblage of fifty-eight works – generously donated by Bank of America Corporation – celebrates the expression and passion of twenty master artists and has become the cornerstone of the Gantt Center’s permanent collection.
