Spotlight Exhibition

Stephen Towns' Private Paradise: A Figurative Exploration of Black Rest and Recreation

On view: September 21, 2024 - January 20, 2025

Inspired by Black American History, Stephen Towns creates paintings and quilts that bring often hidden stories back into the light. In Towns’ most recent series, he explores Paradise Park, a segregated park in mid-20th century Silver Springs, Florida. Connecting the photographs and the stories of those who worked, created and visited the park, Towns gives viewers a glimpse of a free space to be Black in a region with few opportunities for equality.
