Join us for the conference and exhibitions, and explore how jazz has influenced the visual arts and how the visual arts have affected jazz. Combined, the exhibitions will include more than 100 works that reflect a range of media, including three-dimensional art, audio and film, photography, paintings, drawings, prints and works on paper, fiber arts, and musical instruments. The conference will include several events, such as an opening reception; multiple discussions led by distinguished guests such as keynote speaker Robert G. O’Meally, the Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and founder of the Center for Jazz Studies; and a performance by Branford Marsalis at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
