Over the past 50 years, the Fourth Street Photo Gallery has been the vessel of many different art forms. There have been exhibits by artists varying from those that are finding their footing, to veteran creatives coming back home to breathe. Works were curated by Alex Harsley from a wide range of styles and techniques. From the February 1991 photographic exhibit by Alfred Olusegun Fayemi titled “From Africa and Beyond: A Portrait of the Black Peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora,” to the August 2000 exhibit by Street Installation artist Curtis Cuffie titled “Heaven is under your Feet,” no art form was considered out of bounds.
With every exhibit, the reach of the Fourth Street Photo Gallery expanded into the varying groups of people attracted by each genre, and they kept coming back to experience something new the next time.
