Since the late 1990s, KAWS has been creating a cast of iconic characters steeped in the American zeitgeist that populate his work. Each with their own distinct personality pulled in part from their creator, these characters have been a constant throughline in the artist’s career. The exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from the sculpture titled FAMILY (2021), which brings together four of KAWS’ characters posed in the style of a family portrait. As witnessed throughout the show, the relationships between the figures can be complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt entryways into human emotions.

Widely known as the godfather of music photography, the late Jim Marshall maintained a 50-year career that resulted in more than 500 album covers, an abundance of magazine covers, and some of the most celebrated images in blues, jazz, country, and rock and roll, including those from Johnny Cash’s notable Folsom and San Quentin prison concerts. Organized by the GRAMMY Museum, The Prison Concerts: Folsom and San Quentin (Jim Marshall’s Photographs of Johnny Cash) showcases these powerful snapshots of a legendary musician by a legendary photographer.
The exhibition is comprised of 25 photographs documenting the two concerts in 1968 and 1969, including candid and performance images that helped solidify Cash’s status as an outlaw king. A staunch advocate for prisoners’ rights, Cash did these concerts to shine a light on the terrible conditions and prisoner abuse that were rampant at the time. Personally requested by Cash himself, Marshall was the only official photographer present at the concerts. He was granted unlimited access to Cash, June Carter, and their entourage.
The Prison Concerts captures the spirit of two artists at the height of their creative powers.

"Through mixed media, yet divergent styles, Amber and Sandra take the viewer on an exploration of the power of nature to ignite, to inspire, to nurture, to calm the human spirit. Sandra Spotts is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and a current resident of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. She cultivated a love for art at a very early age which led to earning a degree in Art from the University of Arkansas with a minor in English.Sandra spent many years teaching elementary and junior high art as well as working as a professional artist and designer. In addition to painting, usually in an abstract expressionist style, she has worked and exhibited as a weaver, paper maker and creator of sculptural contemporary basketry, winning several awards. One of her works is a part of the permanent collection of the Art Museum of Arkansas.Her love of writing and storytelling influences her mixed media painting style in which she often incorporates fragments of letters, books and other found objects and original prose. Her themes are often highly personal and emotional responses to life events, observation of nature or global events. Sandra is co-producer and performer on the live storytelling show, “Homegrown Tales.”She currently exhibits regionally and nationally. Amber Leibee, a watercolorist and amateur naturalist. My artistic intention is to record the profound peace inherent to silent moments of solitary study and observation of the natural world. My works are small, meant for an audience of one, an intimate exchange between artist and viewer. I am influenced by Muriel Foster, Alexander von Humboldt, and Clare Walker Leslie. All paints used in my palette are hand mulled using water from a local spring, this process helps me understand how my pigments will mix and behave together on paper. The majority of my work is done en plein air, rendered first in graphite, then watercolor, and on occasion finished with pen and ink details. Amber Leibee is a watercolorist and amateur naturalist.
