Voice and Visibility: 25 Years of the Mott-Warsh Collection
February 13 - August 22, 2026
MW Gallery proudly presents Voice and Visibility: 25 Years of the Mott-Warsh Collection, an art exhibition honoring two significant milestones: the 25th anniversary of the Mott-Warsh Collection and the 10th anniversary of MW Gallery. The exhibit opens Friday, February 13 in downtown Flint and celebrates a visionary commitment to amplifying artists’ voices and expanding public access to powerful art.
Drawn from a collection of more than 1,100 works, the exhibit highlights the depth, influence, and critical acclaim of artists who have shaped American art. The Mott-Warsh Collection is widely recognized as one of the largest privately owned collections of art by artists of the African diaspora in the United States.
Voice and Visibility features distinguished artists spanning generations. Visitors will experience works by iconic figures such as Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Betye Saar, Charles White, Alma Thomas, and Hale Woodruff, alongside leading contemporary voices including Kehinde Wiley, Titus Kaphar, Ebony G. Patterson, and Wangechi Mutu, among others. Together, these artists present compelling narratives that explore identity, history, culture, and representation.
Rooted in the belief that art should be accessible to all, MW Gallery offers free admission and community-centered programming as part of its continued mission to connect people, ideas, and culture through transformative artistic experiences.
