Bettye J. Stull is a curator, arts educator, and collector and is a pivotal figure in the Columbus Black arts community, known for her mentorship of young Black women, including artist April Sunami and activist Jessica Byrd. In her work as staff curator at the King Arts Complex, she was the founding director of the Elijah Pierce Gallery. Her other African and African-American art shows have appeared at the Ohio Craft Museum, the McCoy Community Arts Center, the Cultural Arts Center and several other area venues. She served as an art advisor for the Long Street Bridge “Culture Wall,” a collaboration between the City of Columbus, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, and the Ohio Department of Transportation, which created an innovative arts-based solution to the long-standing problem of urban neighborhoods divided by freeways.
