10-year Anniversary of Les Amis de Beauford Delaney Blog

On Monday, 14 December 2009, I published the first blog post for Les Amis de Beauford Delaney:

Welcome!

What an amazing 10-year run we've had!

From raising the money for Beauford's tombstone

to placing two commemorative plaques on façades in Montparnasse

to working with the Wells International Foundation to mount the Resonance of Form and Vibration of Color exhibition,

and more, Les Amis has done its utmost to preserve and extend Beauford's legacy. I'm proud to say that we have an excellent track record in this regard and that we have no intention of stopping now!

After supporting the recent and successful reading performance of the play Amazing Grace Is Yellow, we are placing all our efforts behind the completion of the full-length video documentary So Splendid a Journey. The trailer was screened at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and the goal is to screen the completed documentary at Cannes in May 2020.

So Splendid a Journey represents the best opportunity to create global awareness of Beauford's tremendous impact as an artist and a human being. To be a part of this inimitable legacy, click on the link below and give to support this production!
