‘Magnificent Seven’ exhibit in Wilmington through Feb. 27

3:59 p.m., Feb. 18, 2004--“The Magnificent Seven: Hayward Oubre’s Students—Works from the Paul R. Jones Collection” is now on display through Friday,
Feb. 27, at Grace United Methodist Church, in Wilmington.

Part of the church’s celebration of Black History Month, the exhibition of approximately 40 works includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, prints and mixed media works by artist Hayward Oubre and several of his students. It is the second year the church has teamed with the University to bring a wider audience to artwork in the Paul R. Jones Collection. Last February, the church exhibited “Original Acts,” a show of photographs from the collection featuring African-American performers.

The “Magnificent Seven” was exhibited on the Newark campus last spring and traveled to Delaware State University in Dover last fall.

With more than 1,500 pieces, the Paul R. Jones Collection is one of the oldest, largest and most complete holdings of African-American art in the world and was donated to the University by Atlanta collector Paul Jones in 2001.

Grace United Methodist Church is located at Nineth and West streets in Wilmington and is handicapped-accessible. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For hours, call Marv Rhinehart at 655-8847.

For more information on the Jones Collection, contact curator Amalia Amaki, assistant professor of Black American Studies at UD, at 831-4075 or via e-mail at [amaki@udel.edu].
