Quincy Art Center is proud to announce a new Satelite Exhibit at Quincy Medical Group. “SeeMe: Race and Culture” by artist Faye Dant.
 
This exhibit will be on display from October 20 – December 22, 2021 and will be located at Quincy Medical Group ’s building at 1118 Hampshire St in Quincy, IL. The exhibit will be located on the second floor near the breezeway and will be open during QMG’s regular business hours. An artist talk with Faye Dant will be held at the exhibit location on Tuesday, October 26 at 6 PM.
 
About the Artist: Faye admits that besides art, her other passions are history and social justice and for more than 20 years she has created activism photomontages. One of her favorite quotes happens to be by novelist Paul Robeson, “Artists are the gatekeepers of truth, we are civilization’s radical voice.”
 
She is a 5th generation Missourian, born and raised in Hannibal, MO, a child of the 60’s. She participated in her first protest as a 12-year-old and continues to remain engaged to this day. She takes great pride in her humble beginning as a Douglasville kid (Hannibal’s oldest all-Black community). Faye has a B.S. in Sociology/Psychology from Oakland University and a Masters Degree from the University of Michigan.
 
Driven by the need for social justice, Ms. Dant founded Northeast Missouri’s only Black History Museum, Jim’s Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center. It is the country’s only museum to pay tribute to Daniel Quarles, a.k.a. Jim of literary fame. Striving to overcome the sense of invisibility, she often uses images of local residents in her art pieces.
