Wadsworth Jarrell: Somethin' Else

Jenkins Johnson is pleased to present Somethin’ Else, our first solo exhibition of Wadsworth Jarrell, co-founder of the artist collective AFRICOBRA (African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists) established 1968 during the Black Liberation Movement. This exhibition highlights the breadth and depth of his practice, featuring works ranging from 1958, directly after Jarrell’s graduation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, to 2018, works created during the groundbreaking traveling exhibition Soul of a Nation.

Somethin’ Else, Jenkins Johnson’s second presentation at 385 Broadway, opens Friday, January 9, 2026, from 6-8pm, and will be on view through Thursday, February 25, 2026.  The exhibition coincides with a new retrospective of Wadsworth and Jae Jarrell at the Albany Museum of Art opening January 2026. A panel discussion will be held coinciding with Black History Month, details forthcoming.

Future Jenkins Johnson Gallery exhibitions at 385 Broadway will be announced as they arise.  For more information, please email info@jenkinsjohnsongallery.com or call +1 (212) 629-0707.
