Preston Jackson's "Bronzeville to Harlem: An American Story"
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Twenty-five years in the making, Bronzeville to Harlem: An American Story, created by artist Preston Jackson, is a sculptural installation comprised of hundreds of unique small bronze and steel figures, relief sculptures, automobiles, buildings, streets and a truss bridge. Originally entitled “From Bronzeville to Harlem,” the cityscape is a simultaneously playful and serious contemplation of the individual stories that made up the urban centers from places such as Peoria, Chicago's Bronzeville and the Harlem neighborhoods of Manhattan.
Bronzeville to Harlem: An American Story by Preston Jackson is made possible by grants from Givsco Construction Company, James and Lou Baldwin, Visionary Society and the generosity of the artist. Additional support comes from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and the Friends of Bronzeville to Harlem.
