Possible articles to edit
Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important visual artists/art workers/collectors of the African Diaspora who have some connection to Charlotte and are under-represented on Wikipedia. Our master list can be found under our Tasks tab. Please add a name if you know a Black artist of note who needs a page or needs editing. Please do not add an artist who has a substantial page. We are trying to create new pages and beef up under-represented ones. Thanks!
