Jazz & Jacob
See the work of Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) who is recognized around the world for his compassionate images of the historic struggles of African Americans. Raised in Harlem and inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, he came to prominence when his series of paintings, The Migration, was exhibited in New York in 1941 and subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art and the Phillips Collection. This exhibition of 81 etchings, woodcuts, silkscreens, and lithographs are from the artist’s estate.
Performance in the Galleries
The poetry of Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and other Harlem Renaissance greats comes to life when lauded actor Darius Wallace performs his original piece All the World’s a Poem.

Thanks to Darrell Cobbins for the tip
I went to the members’ preview for the show last Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Lawrence’s gift for narrative storytelling through still images is amazing. Go see this show!
