Yountz prepared for the day of celebra- H tion by sharing what she had, and the extra | ||l H things she received, with other people. Oiving to others, she said, is what Christmas is w I H really all about "I felt like I was able to get my own things," she said. "1 felt like there were H people who could use it more than 1 could s ? 1 so i have given them things.

"Collecting as such among blacks is problematic, said Francis Brown Jr., a Winston-Salem artist who is the curator for the show that ran through Dec. 19. "There are some very Fine collections, but they are relatively sparse in regard to the total population of black artists."
