Letitia Huckaby’s catalog was designed by Shefon N. Taylor, and features a critical essay by Christopher Blay, writer, and Chief Curator at the Houston Museum of African American Culture in Houston, Texas. Published by Art League Houston, the book was printed in an edition of 300 and was designed in conjunction with Letitia Huckaby’s 2022 Texas Artist of the Year exhibition which explores the legacy of Africatown, its founders, and their descendants, with the history of the ship Clotilda and its persistent physical proximity to the community. Major funding for the exhibition and catalog was generously provided by the Jacques Louis Vidal Charitable Fund, Edaren Foundation, Kathrine McGovern Foundation, and Talley Dunn Gallery.
Earlie Hudnall, Jr.’s catalog was published by Art League Houston and designed by HvA Design in conjunction with a survey exhibition of Hudnall’s photography as the recipient of ALH’s 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award in the Visual Arts. Although widely published throughout his career, this is the first publication that is dedicated solely to Hudnall’s work. The catalog was printed in an edition of 300 and includes some of his most celebrated images along with an introductory essay by Anne Wilkes Tucker. Major funding for the exhibition and catalog was generously provided by the Edaren Foundation, Nene Foxhall, Jacques Louis Vidal Charitable Fund, Kathrine McGovern Foundation and Harry & Lynn O’Mealia. Special thanks to Missy Finger, with PDNB Gallery, for her assistance with the catalog and exhibition.
