A Trip to the High Museum

You’re invited for a group visit to the High Museum of Art to see Amy Sherald: American Sublime. Grab a bite to eat then head over to the High to see this temporary exhibit closing later this month. Ticket information will be made available at a later date. RSVP online or contact the Connect Team.

About the Artist

Born in Columbus, Georgia, Sherald has deep ties to Atlanta and to the High. She trained as a painter in the city and graduated from Clark Atlanta University. In 2018, the High awarded her its annual David C. Driskell Prize in African American Art and Art History, the first national award to recognize the importance of African American art. The museum presented The Obama Portraits Tour, featuring her renowned portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama, in 2022.

The High is the fourth and final venue for this exhibition, which is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), where it debuted in 2024, and which previously traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art.
