Join JJC now!
There is a real sense of community among the members of JJC who all share a passion for African and African-American art.
Founded in 1984, JJC is one of the oldest African-American museum support groups in the country. Named after an 18th-century African-American portrait painter who lived and worked in Maryland, its mission is to forge meaningful connections between Baltimore's African-American communities and the BMA. JJC strengthens the BMA's presence in these communities by promoting and highlighting the achievements of African-American artists.
JJC programs and meetings take place on the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m.
