Dameon & Kimberly Fisher: Dr. Dameon and Kimberly Fisher have been collecting African Art for 30 years. Their love of African American art developed while attending college at Morehouse and Clark Atlanta University. Since then, their passion for art has served as a conduit for them to discuss cultural stories surrounding the past and present of African American history and legacy. One of Kim and Dameon’s driving forces is a charge they were given to serve as cultural undertakers. As cultural advocates, The Fishers have built their collection surrounding emerging and contemporary artists. Their collection is established by all mediums such as collage, figurative, sketches, abstract, and conceptual art. They have been successful in the procurement of their collection by attending studio visits and art galleries, traveling to various art fairs, and networking with other like-minded collectors. Today The Fisher’s collection contains over 250 pieces of art that have been featured and published in various magazines and publications.
