In 1999, the Museum\u2019s board renamed the biennial competition to the \u201cCarroll Harris Simms National Black Art Competition and Exhibition\u201d in honor of Carroll Harris Simms\u2019 outstanding contributions to art and art education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simms (1924-2010) was a master sculptor and ceramist, painter,\u00a0jeweler\u00a0and author. He was a distinguished professor and educator who helped shape Texas Southern University\u2019s art department as well as the careers of many acclaimed Texas artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The African American Museum is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.
