From Howard to the Smithsonian. 🎨🔬

For recent Howard MFA graduate Mykayla Osborne (Mykayla Simone🎨), chemistry and fine art once seemed like two separate paths. At Howard, she discovered art conservation—a field that allowed her to bring both interests together.

That discovery led to training at Winterthur and an experience with the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where she helped document David Beck’s intricate mixed-media work MVSEVM. Now, Osborne is exploring how conservation can expand both her artistic practice and her future as a scholar.

Art. Joy. Purpose. Legacy. 💙

On August 28, Howard marked the sixth anniversary of Chadwick A. Boseman’s passing with the fifth annual Chadwick A. Boseman Day Student Showcase—a celebration of the artistry and community that continue to carry his legacy forward.

Hosted by Howard alumnus Anthony Anderson (Anthony Anderson), the showcase brought together music, dance, fashion, visual art, theatre, and film on the Yard. Anderson also announced a $50,000 gift to the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts in support of Theatre Arts students.

“Tonight, we celebrate the legacy of a Howard legend,” Anderson told the crowd, “but more importantly, we celebrate the artists, dreamers, leaders, and creators who are carrying that legacy forward.”

Howard students had the questions. Mack Wilds had some gems.

As part of a WHUT assignment, Spotlight students sat down with actor and director Tristan “Mack” Wilds during a Lunch & Learn at the Warner Music/Blavatnik Center for Music Business.

They asked the questions, and Mack shared advice for the next generation of Howard creatives.

Breathe. Move. Become.

When Sydni D. Brown began imagining a different path for emerging dancers, she drew upon the training, mentorship and sense of possibility she found at Howard.

Now, the 2026 Howard graduate is building that path herself.

Through Exhale Dance Company, Brown is creating a bridge between collegiate training and professional life — a space where emerging dancers can continue developing their artistry, confidence and community as they navigate what comes next.

Her story is also a story about what happens when education becomes agency: when students leave Howard prepared not simply to enter an industry, but to reimagine it.

What can architecture reveal about the histories we have yet to fully recover?

For Howard University art historian Dr. Melanee C. Harvey-Fryar, the built environment is more than a backdrop to history. It is evidence — a record of Black religious life, artistic practice, community and memory waiting to be examined.

Her latest scholarship turns to architect John A. Lankford and the architectural legacy of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, illuminating histories too often overlooked in traditional accounts of American architecture.

🏛️ Discover how archival research, art history and architecture converge in her work.
