Black Baseball in Living Color

NOW OPEN through September 24, 2023 in the Auditorium Showcase

Saturday, 9/23: Join us for a book talk and signing event!

Black Baseball in Living Color is an exhibition of 237 individual portraits of Black baseball players from 1867–1954, interpreted through the paintbrush of artist Graig Kreindler.  

During all but the last eight years of nearly a century, baseball games were played on a segregated basis and usually only covered by the weekly Black newspapers of the era. This exhibition brings some of the accomplished and forgotten players of the era, who were previously only seen in black and white photographs, vibrantly to life.
