You are invited to an exhibit that celebrates the 20th annual iteration of the legendary Emory Jazz Festival and its residency at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts.

The exhibit features media and photography from an array of Emory Jazz Fest concerts and events and includes personal papers and documents that trace the development of jazz at Emory. 

The exhibit opens at 7:00 p.m. in the Chace Gallery on February 10, 2023 — the evening of the Emory Jazz Fest 2023 concert featuring Warren Wolf and the Emory Jazz Fest All-Stars. It will remain at the Schwartz Center through Saturday, February 11 then moves to the Woodruff Library. 

“It is as much the conversations between objects as between us and objects that make museums so valuable.”

A Matisse, a microscope, a Civil War sword, a political cartoon, a plant specimen, and an anthropomorphic vessel.  What brings these and other seemingly disparate things together?

Connections: The Power of Objects exhibition showcases special collections held or displayed by Emory University and close collaborators. The show highlights libraries, museums, and other organizations that collect, preserve, or foster the use of objects to increase knowledge, spark curiosity, encourage discovery, and promote creativity.

Exhibition is open now through January 08, 2022.
