Cinque Gallery

The Cinque Gallery (1969–2004) was an art gallery in New York City co-founded by artists Romare Bearden, Ernest Crichlow, and Norman Lewis as an outgrowth of the Black power movement to "provide a place where the works of unknown, and neglected artists of talent …" — primarily Black artists — "would not only be shown but nurtured and developed". "Relying on a series of volunteers, Cinque hosted solo, group, and touring exhibitions," and sponsored an artist-in-residence program, which was inaugurated with collagist Nanette Carter.

Over its 35-year history, the gallery showcased both figurative and abstract art by some 450 artists of color, and was praised for its range. Many of the artists who exhibited there are among the most celebrated and significant Black artists in the United States.
