DESCRIPTION:Aug 22\, 2026 - Jan 10\, 2027\nWhen she was a little girl in No
 rth Carolina\, on the cusp of the 20th century\, Minnie Evans began to hav
 e strange dreams. The visions were so vivid and overpowering that they oft
 en kept her awake all night. At 13\, Evans stopped going to school. Opport
 unities for Black women were limited back then\, and in 1916 she found wor
 k as a domestic servant\, later becoming a gatekeeper at the hunting estat
 e Pembroke Park—a job she held until her death at 82\, in 1974. In 1935\
 , after Evans made two pen-and-ink drawings\, she began to draw in earnest
 . Soon after\, she heard a voice that said\, “Why don’t you draw or di
 e?” She spent the rest of her life translating those voices into surreal
 \, psychedelic visions on paper—something like Shaker “Spirit Drawings
 \,” but more colorful and baroque. In 1975\, Evans became one of the fir
 st Black artists to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum. This exhibitio
 n presents works covering 40 years of creativity.
