X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Sam Gilliam (1933&ndash\;2022) was a groun
 dbreaking African American artist associated with the Color Field movement
 . He revolutionized painting by removing canvases from traditional frames 
 and draping them like fabric\, creating vibrant\, sculptural works that bl
 urred the line between painting and installation. Gilliam&rsquo\;s innovat
 ive approach challenged conventions and made him a key figure in modern ar
 t history.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In this program\, we will use two of his Hard Ed
 ge Paintings to create inspired artwork. Sam Gilliam&rsquo\;s hard-edge pa
 intings mark a distinct early phase (1963&ndash\;1966) in his career\, whe
 re he worked within Color Field and geometric abstraction traditions. This
  program is in recognition of the Black History Month. <strong>This progra
 m will take place in Children's Program Room.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Thi
 s program is sponsored by the <a href="https://folmc.org/">Friends of the
