Other information:
This exhibition celebrates the life work of one of America's most accomplished 20th-century artists. Photographer, poet, novelist, composer, musician and filmmaker, Gordon Parks spent a lifetime shattering barriers in his pursuit of social justice and artistic expression.

Crossroads: The Art of Gordon Parks expands and enriches a nationally touring exhibition with photographs from the Ulrich, the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas and the Kansas African American Museum in Wichita. Also, the presentation will include archival material from the Gordon Parks Papers in WSU Special Collections and University Archives. Audiences will have a rich opportunity to encounter the range of subjects at which Parks aimed eye and lens: from the train station and ball park in his hometown of Fort Scott to the dazzling streets of Paris at night, from iconic portraits of boxing champion Muhammad Ali and jazz great Duke Ellington to striking images of poverty and its effects.

This event is a museum event and expects 101-500 people.

Note: Please confirm event details with the organizer before traveling long distances to attend this event.
