"By sketching the BLM mural artists, I felt that I participated in the protest art". ✏️ We are proud to name Howard University architecture professor and sketch artist Brad Grant as the museum’s first Instagram artist-in-residence! During his residency, Grant will interpret and depict the museum’s programs, community and spaces through the lens of his sketch work and made-from-life drawings. He is the second artist in recent years to take up a residency at the Portrait Gallery, joining Dana Tai Soon Burgess, the current choreographer-in-residence. Be sure to tune in here for more from Instagram artist-in-residence, Brad Grant! ✏️ Sketches by Brad Grant.
