Timeline

1949

Linda Goode Bryant (born July 21, 1949) is an African-American documentary filmmaker and activist.

She founded the gallery Just Above Midtown (JAM), which was the focus of an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in the fall of 2022, organized by curator Thomas Lax.

1957

Originally located on West 57th Street, JAM was the first gallery space to exhibit the work of African-American artists and other artists of color in a major gallery district.

At JAM’s inception, works by artists of color were primarily exhibited in community centers and cultural institutions in African-American, Native American, Latino and Asian communities.

JAM was met with resentment and hostility from nearby galleries.

JAM emerged during the recession and was created with the purpose to initiate social change.

During this time there was a distinct difference in the value of white artists compared to non-white artists within the art industry.

Goode Bryant intended JAM to be a place where black artists could be free from the oppressive views of the commercial industry.

Tribeca offered a larger space and was located further downtown compared to the location on West 57th Street.

While it continued to operate as a commercial gallery and exhibition space, Goode Bryant and her team emphasized live events, such as performances, readings, video screenings, and lectures which included business seminars.

JAM initiated a seminar and service program called "The Business of Being an Artist".

This program was meant to provide materials and opportunities for artists.

The first exhibition at the gallery, Synthesis: A combination of parts or elements into a complex whole on view from November 19–December 23, 1974, featured work by David Hammons, Camille Billops, Elizabeth Catlett, and Norman Lewis.

The Museum of Modern Art will present "Just Above Midtown: 1974 to the present," the first museum exhibition on the gallery.

It will be curated by Thomas J. Lax and open in the fall of 2022.
