About the event

Community Stories: Sustaining North Carolina’s Black Heritage at the Gregg Museum of Art & Design presents a series of vignettes exploring spaces of dignity, belonging, safety, and imagination within Black communities across North Carolina. Featuring historical photographs, contemporary images, artworks from the Gregg Museum collection including a handmade guitar by Freeman Vines, and ephemera from community partners, the exhibition reflects on place, memory, creativity, and spiritual resilience across generations. Through stories of triumph and adversity, Community Stories honors the ways Black Americans have sustained and uplifted their communities through family, entrepreneurship, cultural expression, and soulful imagination, while inspiring future generations.
