Robbie Elayne Lee...
A native of Houston Texas, Robbie Lee is a licensed art appraiser, certified by the American Society of Appraisers. Ms. Lee holds a Business Degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey.
While attending college she became aware that Anglo-American art galleries tended to display the work of only a few African-American artists and became committed to the perpetuation of the works of African American artists.
Robbie opened the Black Heritage Gallery on January 10, 1977. Over the years, she has consulted and visited art shows in Harlem, Newark, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Bermuda, the West Indies, Ghana and South Africa. Collectors have come from around the world to visit her gallery.
Robbie Lee tours, exhibits and lectures on the works of gallery artists at schools, colleges, museums and social organizations in America and around the world. Her goal is to get African and African American artists accepted and exhibited as a part of the American cultural norm.
Though her busiest season in America is during Black History Month, many organizations are now discovering and adding Black Heritage Gallery exhibits to their programs for summer and fall festivals, Jazz month, cultural awareness activities and lately featuring the works of African American female artists during their March Women's Month activities.
