Englewood Arts Inaugural Public Exhibit
The exhibit, features over 42 photographs taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Dan White and includes text by local writer Brent Schondelmeyer.
The color photographs were taken in 1985 for a book project (the first decade) and the second decade is black and white portraits taken during December and January in Independence this past winter.
White’s photography has been featured in notable photography books like "America 24/7," has previously exhibited stunning portraits of Kansas City jazz musicians and presented an exhibit on his hometown of Flint, MI. In recognition of his contributions, White was inducted into the Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame in 2019.
Schondelmeyer, a former journalist and local historian, collaborated with White on both the 1985 project and the recent portraits.
Together, their work offers a unique perspective on the Independence community through photography and large-scale prints.
