Eric Edwards Collection of African Art

Bio

The Eric Edwards Collection of African Art is a result of a private collection that has become one of the largest African art collections in the U.S. collected by Eric Edwards. Through a journey of over 44 years of carefully selecting these items that date back to over 4000 years, Edwards is now sharing this journey with the public in a museum setting of education.

Edwards hopes to feature rotating exhibits in addition to his collection of metal works, clothing, music instruments, fine art, and ceremonial masks.

The collection represents 54 African countries with artefacts dating as far as the Nubian empire. In addition to making his collection accessible to the public, Edwards hopes to display his extensive library of books on African art, host public programs, and potentially even rent studio space to local artists in a museum he is raising funds to establish.
