Exhibits: Central Library, all ages

The newest exhibition of the Orval Hixon Gallery, Kansas City Style: The Artistry of Orval Hixon, is on display Summer 2010 - Spring 2011 at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St. The exhibit highlights the local legend's most creative and dramatic contributions to the art of photography.

Father David Paisius Altschul began researching Troost Avenue more than 25 years ago and ultimately decided to document its history in the exhibit 200 Years on Troost.

The Red-Color News Soldier exhibit is among the first visual records of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which spanned from 1966-76.

Almost no visual documentation of the era exists—and almost all that does is biased—due to the Chinese government’s control of the media, arts, and cultural institutions.
