This exhibit, on display in the Fine Arts Library, honors the life and work of the late U-M Professor Jon Onye Lockard, who was instrumental in the development of African-American arts and culture in Michigan. His distinctive style of artistic expression captured the spirit of civil rights and black pride.

As an artist and educator, Lockard was a mentor to many on the University of Michigan campus and beyond. Among other accolades, he was a founder of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. His paintings can be viewed across the U-M campus, including many of the murals in residence hall multicultural lounges.

Hours: Sun 1-10pm, Mon-Thurs 8am-10pm, Fri 8am-5pm, Sat 1-6pm

Join us for a reception on Tuesday, February 23, 3-6pm in the Fine Arts Library, with honored guest Mrs. Leslie Kamil, the artist's widow. Light refreshments will be served.
