The deep and historic connection between the gallery owners and the artist, Romare Bearden, focused the gallery’s work on the Black Fine Arts Masters from the gallery’s first location in Park Slope, opening its doors in 1979, to their current home in a brownstone located in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem.
