Ernestine & Malcolm Brown opened Malcolm Brown Gallery in Shaker Heights, Ohio on September 18th, 1980. The Browns implemented a robust calendar, inviting art lovers of the Cleveland community to attend lectures, classes and public events, and to interact directly with some of the leading Black artists of the time.

A decade after the gallery’s closure and two years after the passing of her father, Rhonda is relaunching Malcolm Brown Gallery in the new millennium. The gallery will highlight the Brown Family Trust’s collection of Black Masters as well as obscure artists across the country with a focus on artists who are 60+ years old.
