Northeastern University established the African American Master Artists-in Residency Program (AAMARP) in 1977 with Dana  C. Chandler Jr. as its director. AAMARP’s mission was to provide awareness of the talent of African American artists and also those from other ethnicities. The program allowed budding African American artists to create works of art with unrestricted freedom.
