The Joseph Clark Gallery showcases the traditional tribal arts and artifacts of Sub-Saharan Africa. African statues and figures, masks, ritual objects, earthenware, textiles, tribal currencies, bronze figures and plaques, terracotta, jewelry, dolls and so much more are available for viewing and purchasing. The gallery also features the varied artworks of local artists and artisans.
Joseph Clark Gallery’s primary objective is to provide exceptional and unique artwork and artifacts from the African continent with emphasis on the people of Sub-Saharan Africa. The gallery strives to share with visitors, the history, belief systems and cultures of the various ethnic groups represented in its displays, place the art objects in context and provide insight into their use.
The gallery helps its visitors select and purchase pieces that will express their personality and fit well in their homes.
