Ohio University's Kennedy Museum of Art at the Ridges hosts two impressive exhibits this summer and fall. The photographs of Herman Leonard, BFA '47, considered one of the greatest photographers of jazz musicians, is being displayed through Aug. 16. Sixty-tw o black-and-white prints that Leonard donates to the university make up the exhibit. From Sept. 1 through Oct. 14, the museum hosts "Bearing Witness: Contemporary Works by African American Women Artists." The exhibit features work by 24 prominent artists, including Lorna Simpson, Howardena Pindell, Faith Ringgold and others. The exhibit is considered the most prominent traveling collection the museum has hosted since it opened in the fall of 1996.
