American Ballads: The Photographs of Marty Stuart

Though November 18, 2018
Picturing America Gallery

A veteran of the country music industry, Marty Stuart is much more than a master musician; he is a producer, writer, historian, collector, curator, and photographer. In fact, the Mississippi native has been taking photographs nearly as long as he has played guitar. This exhibition features Stuart’s documentary photography of American culture through country music singers and songwriters, local characters encountered on tour, and the Lakota Tribe of North Dakota. American Ballads: The Photographs of Marty Stuart was organized by the Frist Art Museum, Nashville, Tennessee.
