Other Dancing Other Music With Friends Tourist Outside Local For Adults Date Night Other Entertainment Paintings Other Arts and Culture Museum Exhibit History Exhibit Art Exhibition Free Alcohol

What’s Happening?

Come celebrate the closing of this incredible exhibition The Struggle and the Glory: The American Experience. We will gather throughout the house and lawn to celebrate these works by Cornelius Carter. The event will include a dance exhibition and a tribute to Martin Luther King and his “I Have a Dream Speech,” which was delivered on this date in 1963. 

This exhibition captures the struggle and glory of living life as an African-American in the United States throughout history, along with the artist’s faith in the dream of equality and opportunity for all. We share that faith and we support all the people who are working so hard today to make the dream a reality.

Taking his inspiration from multiple traditions, Cornelius weaves together imagery from history, mythology, childhood, and life experience to create paintings that are thought-provoking, captivating, and beautiful. He often incorporates historical elements and classical styling, but from his own cultural perspective. People and their relationships are a central theme in his work.
