Arthur Monroe: Rhythmic Abstraction Schedule of events at the Blue Lotus Artist’s Collective (BLAC) at 15 E. Pennington Street.
Monroe’s works reflect his participation within several of the major cultural movements of the twentieth century. Born in the Bedford Stuyvesant District of Brooklyn, New York in 1935, he became steeped in the NY School of Abstract Expressionism, studied with Hans Hoffman, rubbed shoulders with Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, and frequented the Cedar Bar in Greenwich Village.
Blue Lotus Artists’ Collective (BLAC) is a non-profit gallery space dedicated to supporting and uplifting black artists. Located on the ground floor of the historic pioneer building in downtown Tucson, Arizona, our gallery is a place where the community can come together to celebrate, appreciate and see the art and talent of black artists. It is a gathering place for the community to view, honor, discuss and appreciate art and ideas.
