An exhibition from Special Collections was recently featured at the Mid-America Arts Alliance in Kansas City as part of First Fridays at the Crossroads Art District. The photos show selections from the traveling exhibition Beyond Words: Visual Narratives from the Block Book to the Graphic Novel, which looks at the ways artists have used words and pictures to tell stories over a span of 500 years. Our exhibition partner, Exhibits USA, did a wonderful job of installing the exhibition in their gallery space!
The exhibition will be on tour throughout the United States through 2019, sharing the richness of Special Collections with libraries and museums across the country. For more information about booking the exhibit in your area, see the Exhibits USA bookings page.
