Opening November 6th

“Charles White Across Media: A Visual Archive” brings together album covers, book jackets, magazines, film stills, photographs, prints, and other ephemera featuring the work of #CharlesWhite (1918-1979) to examine the expansive cultural life of his imagery. Tracing how his work circulated beyond the studio and the museum wall, the exhibition reveals how White’s images centered everyday life and shaped a broader visual language.
