About [Reception] We Are The Drum And The Scribe: The BAIA Collection
We Are the Drum and the Scribe: Black Art In America Collection at the Bo Bartlett Center
Step into a space where the legacy of Black art lives in both record and rhythm. We Are the Drum and the Scribe is not only an exhibition but an affirmation — of Black Art In America’s (BAIA) ongoing mission to document, preserve, and promote the contributions of African American visual culture.
As the scribe, BAIA records, preserves, and safeguards the visual histories of African American artists — ensuring that their legacies, past and present, are written into the record of American art.
As the drum, BAIA amplifies those voices — allowing both emerging and established artists to resonate across the nation through exhibitions, collections, media, and meaningful institutional partnerships.
Presented at the Bo Bartlett Center in Columbus, Georgia, this exhibition reflects BAIA’s core mission while serving as a living reminder that Black stories are to not only be kept — but to be experienced .
