The Thankful Poor: Henry Ossawa Tanner Mural Paint Day

Mural Arts proudly presents the dedication of a new mural featuring Henry Ossawa Tanner’s iconic painting The Thankful Poor, brought to life by acclaimed artist George A. Morton. This powerful artwork, depicting two African Americans in prayer, stands as a testament to Tanner’s profound impact on African-American art and culture. Join us at Gethsemane F.B.H Church as we honor both Tanner’s artistic legacy and Morton’s inspiring journey, recently featured in the HBO documentary Master of Light.
