Art Galleries and the Bronzeville Center
Gallery Guichard
African Americans have always been in the forefront on culture in America but unfortunately have not always been recognized for their efforts. Gallery Guichard is a new art gallery in the Bronzeville area hoping to put an end to that cycle.. Gallery Guichard prefers to cater to the African Diaspora and African American Artists. It highlights new artists as well as past African Americans.
Another surprise and bright spot in Bronzeville is the Bronzeville Center. Everything Bronzeville can be found here including books and photographs of ancestory. Make this a stop on your visit and you won't be disappointed.
