The artists for the project were selected by author, curator, art historian and Harvard University professor Sarah E. Lewis. The portfolio was produced by the Lower East Side Printshop, New York’s premier non-profit printmaking studio, under the auspices of Master Printer Erik Hougen.
Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation was founded in 1995 in New York City by media mogul Russell Simmons and his brothers, artist and activist Danny Simmons and Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons, and committed to bettering the lives of underserved inner-city youth through meaningful exposure to the arts and hands-on art education programs, and to as providing professional support to artists at the beginning of their careers, mostly artists of color.
The Rush Gallery Program provides open calls, residencies, professional support and exhibition opportunities to artists and curators focusing on those that are emerging and frequently marginalized, especially artists of color, by the commercial art field. Rush’s rich exhibition history of nearly 2,000 exhibited artists include important early, pivotal exhibitions by, as just a few examples, Kehinde Wiley, Wangechi Mutu, Simone Leigh, Hank Willis Thomas, Dread Scott, Sanford Biggers, Renee Cox and more. The 20th Anniversary Print Portfolio both commemorates this vital artistic history, and captures Rush’s ongoing, energetic support of bold new artwork that will reach new audiences.
The portfolio features 20 works, most newly created for the portfolio; each black and white print is 11×14 inches in an edition of 120 signed and numbered.

FRESH TALK: Carrie Mae Weems [@ National Museum of Women in the Arts] [D.C./USA]
Join us for an exciting conversation with artist and activist Carrie Mae Weems on how artists can inspire social change.
In this FRESH TALK program, artist and activist Carrie Mae Weems will discuss her belief in artists’ social responsibility and her recent activist work, including social reform efforts and public art projects in her hometown of Syracuse, N.Y.
During the second half of the talk, Weems will be joined by Robert Raben, president and founder of the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying and consulting firm The Raben Group, which produces the annual March on Washington Film Festival. The festival, founded in 2013 to honor the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, uses the power of film, music and the arts to share the important stories of the events and heroes of the Civil Rights Era and inspire renewed passion for activism.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Over the past 30 years, Weems has developed a complex body of work that has employed photographs, text, fabric, audio, digital images, installation and video to investigate family relationships, cultural identity, class, political systems and the consequences of power. Her work has been exhibited at the at the Guggenheim Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, and Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, to name a few. She had her first major museum exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 1993.
