DEDICATED TO MS. DOLORES I. CARTY
Born in Harlem to Barbadian immigrants, Dolores Inniss attended P. S, 90, was a member of the Ethiopian Club and the juvenile component of Guiding Star Lodge. The family moved, via Father Divine’s (Peace, it’s wonderful!) organization, to Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, in the early ’40s where she graduated from P. S. 44 and Eastern District High School. Never having completed college, she did take continuing education courses at the college level. Her interest in the arts began early and she would sketch figures as a hobby, studied piano and performed locally in plays and concerts at her mother’s insistence; in addition, she played the French horn in the high school band.
Desiring to help her then husband’s career in fine and graphic arts, Ms. Inniss-Carty collaborated with Shirley Hawkins, Founder, and others to plan the first Fulton Art Fair in 1958. At that time, few African American artists were known to the art world; it was still more rare for the establishment to accept Blacks. Fulton Art Fair offered the first opportunity for a public exhibition of African American artists in their own community (Bedford Stuyvesant), free to all visitors and held in a public park (Fulton Park). None of the founders would have predicted Fulton Art Fair to still be vital in the 21st Century.
