On view April 18, 2025, at the Tubman African American Museum, Miracles celebrates the depth and diversity of Black artistic expression. More than an exhibition, it honors survival, resilience, and revival, paying tribute to the legacy of Miracles Fine Art Gallery and the Redd family’s longstanding dedication to preserving Black culture.

The Redd Family Collection of Black Art is one of the largest of its kind in the Southeast and includes over 800 works by renowned artists such as Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Ernie Barnes, William Tolliver, and Kathleen Wilson.

In 1990, Melgenia and Vernon Redd opened Miracles Fine Art Gallery, Macon’s first gallery dedicated to Black art. After closing in 1996, the collection remained in storage for decades. Now, in a long-awaited revival, this exhibition brings these works back into public view, reaffirming the Redd family’s commitment to preserving Black cultural heritage.

Rainbow Serpent is proud to present a photo collage featuring images from Opening the Mouth, Myth-Science of the Gatekeepers, Obi Mbu (The Primordial House), Prayers Answered, and more. It also marks the premiere exhibition of photography from The Four World Ages series.

Join us for the opening reception on Sunday, May 4, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Tubman African American Museum. Admission is free for museum members and $5 for the general public.

The show will be on view through June 28, 2025.
