Join us for an artists panel with Shawndavid Berry, Doug Cowan, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, and Michael Talbot.
The Bannister Community Art Project (BCAP) was launched in 2021 to support a permanent installation of a life-sized sculpture of Edward Mitchell Bannister that memorializes the artist. The success of BCAP can be seen in several community projects in his honor that continue to engage the public in dialogue that encourages community partnerships and cross cultural relationships.
This exhibition continues with that intent, selecting five contemporary artists to carry on the spirit of Bannister through new interpretations of his life and artistic themes. Shawndavid Berry, Doug Cowan, Darrel Perkins, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, and Michael Talbot will each be contributing artworks to the exhibition, including at least one new piece directly inspired by Bannister’s legacy.
The exhibition is on view in Bannister Gallery from October 2-24, 2025.
