African American art is a constant feature in the cultural scene of Prince George's County. Currently there are three diverse survey exhibitions of African American art in the county that portray the diversity of black artists and the art that they create.
"Convergence: Jazz, Film, and the Visual Arts" at the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland, College Park explores the crosshatching of jazz and the visual arts. Featuring works from the Harlem Renaissance, unknown African origins, and contemporary artists of today this exhibition formulates the thesis that music and the arts have an especially intrinsic relationship when considering the influence of jazz of visual artists.
