Raphael Iaccarino – Preston Jackson Gallery
Inspired by the magnificence of the tropical rain forest and jungles, Raphael Iaccarino’s vivid watercolors have received much acclaim for their outstanding artistic merit and have been shown all over the concert. The Davenport artist, instructor, accomplished musician and composer has traveled to many rainforests for inspiration.
Robert Anthony Ketchens – Gallery 3R
Robert Ketchens’ colorful paintings reflect the social complexities of the African diaspora, that are part of a larger story of dignity and humanity in people. Originally from New Orleans, he now lives east of St. Louis continuing to paint stories of symbolism, building a bridge between tradition and modernity, memory and vision. The exhibit will culminate at our annual Juneteenth Celebration at which Ketchens will speak about his work.
Meet the exhibiting artists and view their artwork in three galleries and the 3rd floor classroom.
