The late artist L.V. Hull's home-studio in Mississippi has made history by being added to the National Register, marking a first for both Black female artists and African American art environments.
Yaphet Smith, who now stewards the site, believes that including Hull's home on the National Register is vital for preserving the creativity and stories of African American artists, especially women.
The addition of Hull's home to the National Register highlights the historical trends in preservation that have often overlooked contributions from women and artists of color.
Scheduled to open in 2025, the L.V. Hull Legacy Center aims to celebrate Hull's unique contributions and serve as a hub for visual arts in the county.
