A Different Kind of Classroom
Our Mission
The mission of the Sordoni Art Gallery is to encourage an appreciation of the arts and an understanding of its role in society through direct engagement with art. Our main focus is to present high-quality exhibitions, related programming, and publications in a wide range of media, topics, cultures and time periods.
Framing Moments: Photography from the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts
Throughout its history, the KIA has collected works by photographers whether studio, documentary, photojournalists, or artists that documented or preserved their unique points of view spanning the mid-nineteenth century to present. By focusing on the time periods works were produced and collected, curator Dr. Deborah Willis reimagines and explores what stories and moments the KIA curators gravitated to by iconic photographers such as Ansel Adams, Dawoud Bey, Sheila Pree Bright, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Irving Penn, Cindy Sherman, Deborah Turberville, and James VanDerZee, among others.
