MAP2020: The Further We Roll, The More We Gain is a large scale project that commemorates and critically examines the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave some women the right to vote. The exhibition includes banners from Aram Han Sifuentes’ Protest Banner Lending Library, handmade flags by students from Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School, and flags by Taylor Barnes, Ofelia Faz-Garza, Annette Lawrence, Lissa Rivera and Viola Delgado.
The in-person gallery opening of MAP 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID-19. However, SDCC is thrilled to share this exhibit virtually. Stay tuned for information regarding the upcoming virtual artist talk with Janeil Englestad and Aram Sifuentes in November 2020.

ARTHELLO BECK AND EMERGING ARTISTS GALLERY
The South Dallas Cultural Center’s two visual art galleries feature innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions that address a range of social and cultural themes. Our exhibition program presents influential local, regional, and national artists such as Phoenix Savage, Pucci Lisenbee, and Ciare Elle Bryant.
South Dallas Cultural Center’s visual art galleries was named in honor of artist and long-time SDCC supporter, Arthello Beck. A South Dallas native, Beck dedicated his life to the arts and supporting African American culture. He traveled extensively, showcasing his works in cultural institutions across the world. By the 1970’s, Beck and his wife, Mae, established the Arthello Beck Gallery in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas. Arthello Beck passed away in 2004 and our galleries became his namesake in 2007. The South Dallas Cultural Center is proud to pay tribute to Beck’s unyielding creativity and his profound affection for the culture and lives of Black people.
