April 19, 2008• Armour J. Blackburn Center • Howard University
To Celebrate and Honor…
The Colloquium Benefit Gala is the pinnacle celebration of the Annual James A. Porter Colloquium. First held in 2003, the annual Benefit Gala and its proceeds directly fund the Porter Colloquium and the Colloquium Endowment Fund ensuring the continuation of the program for future generations. The Gala is an incredible evening of style, celebration and tribute honoring the achievements of legends within the field of African American Art and Art History. It’s an incredible evening to enjoy fine dinning, live jazz, art, laughs, surprise guests and a room full of friends — both old and new.
The year’s Colloquium Benefit Gala will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2008 in the ballroom of the Armour J. Blackburn Center in the heart of Howard University. We invite you to join us as we pay tribute to our distinguished 2008 Colloquium Honorees, Richard A. Long, Professor Emeritus, Emory University and Leslie King-Hammond, Graduate Dean, Maryland Institute College of Art and past chair of the College Art Association.
