Art Galleries at Black Studies (AGBS) at The University of Texas at Austin is a collecting institution whose mission is to acquire, preserve, interpret, exhibit, and otherwise make accessible modern and contemporary art and cultural materials from Africa and the African Diaspora for the benefit of a variety of audiences. AGBS includes two principal galleries—Christian-Green Gallery and Idea Lab—and six project spaces, its exhibitions and programs serve communities on and off campus and engage with the larger art worlds. AGBS’s exceptional collection—numbering nearly 1,300 objects—is the core of its identity, and it sustains and catalyzes all we do.
