“Miss Alma Thomas”

Alma W. Thomas broke color barriers on and off the canvas, yet did not receive national attention until she was 80.

“Miss Alma Thomas” is the first documentary film that explores Thomas’ incredible life through the lens of curators, art specialists, scholars, and her family, and features award-winning actress Alfre Woodard as the voice of Alma Thomas. Released in conjunction with a major four-city museum retrospective, thousands will have the opportunity to learn of her life, work, and continuing influence.

Cowan Creative provided graphic design and historic image enhancement for the film.
