Get your ‘2022 Obama Portraits Tour’ tickets early at the High Museum
It’s almost time! The iconic portraits of former President, Barrack Obama, and his wife, Michelle Obama, will be on display at The High Museum in Atlanta this January, painted by the famous artist, Kehinde Wiley.
These portraits were first unveiled at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in February 2018, and are making their way across the country, to five cities – one of which is Atlanta, GA. The tour started in June 2021 and finishes in May 2022.
In addition to this, according to The High Museum of Art, “The Obama Portraits Tour will feature audio-visual elements, Portrait Gallery-led teacher workshops, curatorial presentations, and a richly illustrated book (National Portrait Gallery and Princeton University Press). This special presentation will enhance the conversations surrounding the power of portraiture and its potential to engage communities.”
This is an opportunity that students don’t want to miss out on!
