The Many Faces of Edward Curtis: An Afternoon of Exploration

Dive into the world of Edward S. Curtis with an afternoon full of ideas, stories and unexpected insights. Drawing inspiration from Edward S. Curtis: Photographer of His Time and The James Museum’s extensive Curtis collection —one of the best in the country— this program brings together an artist, a historian and a portrait descendant for a dynamic exploration of his creativity, controversies and cultural impact.

Whether Curtis is new to you or a longtime fascination, you’ll experience his work from fresh angles that illuminate the people, moments, and motivations behind the photographs.
