 The
Sargent Johnson Gallery, founded in 1977, is named for
one of the Bay Area's most prominent sculptors, Sargent
Claude Johnson. Born in Boston on November 7, 1888, Johnson
came to San Francisco in 1915. Well known as a sculptor,
he was also an accomplished graphic artist, painter, ceramist
and enamellist.
The mission of the Sargent Johnson Gallery is to celebrate
art through the promotion, exhibition and documentation
of Black visual culture. With a focus on exhibiting works
by African American Artists from the Western Addition
and greater Bay Area, the gallery demonstrates a commitment
to the goals of the African American Art & Culture
Complex. The Sargent Johnson Gallery serves to expand
Afro-centric art activities, enhance knowledge and appreciation
for the visual arts, encourage, and promote the growth
of African-American art.
