TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - A new exhibit focused on art hailing from the 60's and 70's is coming to Florida A&M University.
The Meek-Eaton Black Archives and Museum at FAMU has announced that the "Funky Turns Forty" exhibit from the Museum of Uncut Funk Collection will make its debut from Saturday until Halloween.
Loreen Williamson and Pamela Thomas created the Museum of Uncut Funk in 2007 to digitally showcase their now 300 and counting pieces of 1960’s and 70’s animation art. “Funky Turns Forty,” commemorates the 40th anniversaries of 1970’s Saturday Morning cartoons that featured positive Black characters for the first time in television history.
The collection houses pieces from popular shows like, “Hey, Hey, Hey, It’s Fat Albert,” “The Jackson Five, “Josie and the Pussycats,” and “The Harlem Globetrotters,” to name a few. The exhibit will also contain several interactive features, making it a family friendly outing.
FAMU's museum is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
