Jazz KC Portraits by Dan White
May 22, 2025 - December 30, 2025
"Jazz KC Portraits" will showcase stunning photographs by Dan White of iconic jazz musicians who have shaped the rich cultural tapestry of the city. Through these images, visitors will embark on a visual and aural journey, exploring the rhythm, soul, and passion that define the essence of Kansas City Jazz.
The exhibition will feature a curated collection of 50 beautifully framed photographic portraits made during two decades (1987-2006), as well as new photographs of up-and-coming artists created specifically for this exhibition. Additionally, there are nine banners (24x36 inches) presenting anecdotes taken from interviews of several of the artists. Each image will offer a glimpse into the lives and artistry of the musicians who have made, and are making, significant contributions to the genre.
