This series is a collaborative effort, providing the unique opportunity for a young artist to be personally involved in producing their very own solo exhibition.

Continues through April 17
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT REVISITED — Three Portfolios from the Permanent Collection. This exhibition brings together images by seven documentary photographers that captured life in the years leading up to and during the Civil Rights Movement in America, ending with the untimely death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. While created nearly a half-century ago, these images are indicative of the ongoing struggle for race equality in America. They serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices, struggles, and inspirational acts of those that participated in this movement, the changes they instilled, and the challenges that remain.
TERRA INCOGNITA: “Photographs of America’s Third Coast” — Richard Sexton
Latin for “unknown land,” Terra Incognita is the result of a 15 year study of the marsh, scrub lands, dunes, beaches, swamps and forests along the Gulf Coast from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle. This project, by nationally recognized photographer and author Sexton, examines the delicate relationship between man and the environment. Organized by the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
Continues through May 15
QUAKING ASPEN — Gary Metz
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz’s “Quaking Aspen: a Lyric Complaint” challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape.
IN EXILE: Paris and New York — Photographs of Fred Stein
Stein was an early champion of street and documentary photography recognized for his iconic images of life in Paris and New York from the 1930s through the early 1960s as well as portraits of important writers, artists, scientists and celebrities of the time, such as Albert Einstein, Salvador Dalí, and Marlene Dietrich. While Stein originally set out to be a public defender, his pastime of photography became his livelihood when he fled from Germany to Paris in 1933, the year Hitler was appointed Chancellor. He fled again from Paris to New York City in 1941. His career was cut short when he died at age 58 and it is only in recent years that his work is getting the recognition it deserves.
