Join us for Culture & Cocktails, Ogden Museum’s evening series celebrating art, ideas and conversation. This evening features Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection, in conversation with Jenny Bagart, former business and archive manager to the legendary jazz photographer Herman Leonard.
Begin your night with a private tour of "Herman Leonard: Images of Jazz" presented by The Helis Foundation, with Bradley Sumrall, while enjoying a signature cocktail inspired by its themes. Following the tour, Bagert will share an insider’s perspective on what makes this collection of photographs so distinctive. Having managed Leonard’s archive for a decade and counted him as a friend, Bagert offers a rare, firsthand view of his work and creative process—including his approaches to lighting, shooting and printing. She will also reflect on what made him one of the most memorable people in the room and what set him apart as both a person and an artist.
