The Clementine Hunter Black History Month Exhibit: Successful Demonstration and Results of the Display Process. Working Paper #1.
Demery, Marie
The Clementine Hunter Black History Month Exhibition (Natchitoches, Louisiana) was a successful demonstration that five objectives can be achieved with a zero budget and teamwork. Objective 1 demonstrated that specially designed cultural and extracurricular events can be used as tools for retaining black students on a predominantly white college campus. Objective 2 presented the selection of the Louisiana folk-artist Clementine Hunter as a role model for black history, achievement, and creativity. Objective 3 promoted the concept of visual literacy by encouraging viewers to use a viewing guide survey to study rather than to quickly glance at art. Objective 4 revealed that Natchitoches Parish (Louisiana) has collections of Clementine Hunter paintings that have never been exhibited. Objective 5 confirmed that this show would be a point of departure for the organization of a traveling exhibit of these unknown, grassroots, Clementine Hunter paintings to major U.S. cities. The mini-exhibit catalog and 14 works of art have been reproduced in this document. The viewing guide survey and its results have also been included. Forty references provide validation for content, and a checklist documented the entire spectrum of the exhibit process. (Author/SM)
