theMcNay Museum presents True Believers: Benny Andrews & Deborah Roberts. The exhibit offers a historic and contemporary view of the Black experience in America through the work of two artists from different generations. This exhibition explores the deep connections between the work of Andrews and Roberts in their shared use of collage and exploration of activism, racial injustice, family, and religious themes.

True Believers will be on view starting Thursday, October 6 in the Tobin Exhibition Galleries.
