In celebration of the opening of Keith Duncan: Battle of the Bands, join us for an Exhibition Walkthrough led by artist Keith Duncan.

Duncan’s most recent body of work celebrates the vibrant tradition of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) marching bands. The exhibition features large-scale fabric paintings of fifteen HBCU bands, along with both works on paper and human-scale fabric paintings each band’s drum major.

During the tour, learn about Duncan’s inspiration for the series, his creative process and innovative techniques. Following the walkthrough, Duncan will be on hand to sign copies of the exhibition catalog (available for purchase in the Museum Store).

This event is free and open to the public.
