Seventy-five years ago, several SAIC students helped found the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC), the first Black art museum in the United States. Shared History: SAIC 150th/SSCAC 75th Joint Anniversary Exhibition was curated by Rashayla Marie Brown (BFA 2015) and supported by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and celebrated the collective history of the South Side Community Art Center and SAIC. Featuring both student and alumni work, the show expanded upon the rich legacy of partnership between two of America's most vital arts institutions.
