Into The Open Exhibition
The "Into the Open" Exhibition was an exhibition of art by black artists displayed at various venues in the United Kingdom in 1984.
This exhibition was the first major survey by a municipal gallery of contemporary work by black artists in Britain. It was curated, at the invitation of Sheffield City Arts Department, by two people closely involved with black artists in Britain: Lubiana Himid and Pogus Caesar. Their stated aim was to give an indication of the range and richness of art made by contemporary Afro Caribbean artists.
The exhibition toured in the United Kingdom in 1984, appearing at three venues: the Mappin Art Gallery in Sheffield, the Castle Museum in Nottingham, and the Newcastle Media Workshops in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was organized by the Sheffield Arts Department and was subsidised by the Arts Council of Great Britain.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or exhibition:
“It doesn’t do good to open doors for someone who doesn’t have the price to get in. If he has the price, he may not need the laws. There is no law saying the Negro has to live in Harlem or Watts.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
