The Schomburg could do more to support the local artist in the area. It amazes me, that we are always late to appreciate what's right in front of us. If you have a press kit, which displays, what you've done in the community, newspaper articles, reputable events, that should be enough to support the fact that you are an asset to the community-therefore, you have the right to display your life works at such an historical venue-such as the Schomburg. But, they are NOT for the people of the community. I have heard countless stories from artist who try relentlessly to have their work displayed at the schomburg simply to be turned away. Tired of seeing my local artist go to Europe for appreciation. ;(
