About the artwork

Exhibitions from Morgan's art collection, including works by Morgan students, graduates and other African-American artists, are planned to enrich the dining experience at the Roberts Dining Room. The inaugural exhibition features work by Eric Briscoe (Morgan '95), assistant curator of the James E. Lewis Museum at Morgan. This exhibition includes mixed-media pieces, charcoals and a portrait of Helen Roberts that was completed in 1994 while Briscoe was still a student.

Although the huge expanses of glass in the dining room cause tremendous glare and limit wall space, Briscoe intends to use interior walls and columns to present various art exhibitions, particularly of work by Morgan's students.
