Program

Canadian photographer Julie Moos captures a generation of women who have been active citizens, church members, and civil rights activists. Through a series of 14 large format photographs of the senior sisters of Birmingham, Alabama's New Pilgrim Baptist Church, Moos utilizes her signature style to invite the viewer to compare individuals through an unrestrained formalism that asks us to see the equality of all people. These photographs also serve as historical documentation of a powerful group of women whose contributions to their community are not to be forgotten.

The exhibition is on loan from the Bank of America Collection. Through the Arts in Our Communities® program, the company has converted its own art collection into a unique resource from which museums and nonprofit galleries may borrow complete or customized exhibitions at no cost, helping them generate vital revenue for institutions. Since the program's launch in 2008, Bank of America has loaned complete exhibitions to more than 50 museums around the world, allowing them to deliver new experiences while creating traffic and excitement for their institution.
