Three major museums are showing a Beauford Delaney work in temporary exhibitions this spring. Unfortunately, all the exhibitions are closed at present due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A vibrant work from Beauford's New York years is on display at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art as part of Awakened in You: The Collection of Dr. Constance E. Clayton. The exhibition showcases works from the museum's March 2019 acquisition of more than seventy artworks by African American artists from the collection of American educator and arts advocate Constance E. Clayton.

Awakened in You opened on February 20, 2020 and is scheduled to run through July 12, 2020.
The Phillips Collection has included an untitled Beauford Delaney abstract in Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition , an exhibition that opened on February 29 and is scheduled to run through May 24. In a Washington Post article dated March 12, 2020, Phillip Kennicott describes this work as "a burst of yellow, orange and red, with subtle blue tones in the interstices of a vibrant field of brush work." (No photo of the work is displayed in the article or on the Phillips Collection Web site.)
Black Refractions: Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem is a major traveling exhibition comprised of over one hundred works by nearly eighty artists from the 1920s to the present. One of these works is Beauford's Portrait of a Young Musician.
