April recently completed her tenure as the 2026 Aminah Robinson Artist Fellow.

“This exhibition is built around 10 core pieces that came out of the Aminah Robinson Fellowship and my time in Aminah’s home studio.

This is the first time they are all being publicly exhibited together. My inspiration was to paint women I know, but to reimagine them as modern versions of female deities and other iconic women from West African culture, history and mythology.”

Living the Legacy

Aminah Robinson was clear that she wanted her home maintained as a place for artists. A committee of community advisors decided to renovate the house and establish it as an artist/scholar residency.
In 2020, the Columbus Museum of Art and Greater Columbus Arts Council formed a partnership to support an annual resident selected from a national pool of African American artists and a fellow selected from a local pool of African American artists to live and/or work in Robinson’s home studio. April recently completed her fellowship.
