St. Mary's Arts Council at the Leonardtown Arts Center
St. Mary’s County resident Susan McNeill shares the rich heritage of her father’s photography of jazz legends and other entertainment stars taken at the pinnacle of the Swing Jazz era during the “Art Share” program. Susan’s father, Robert McNeill, was a celebrated freelance, and later, State Department photographer, and a native of Washington, D.C. Much of the photography on exhibit is set in the streets and venues and in and around Washington in the pre-and post WWII era. Washington D.C.’s U Street-Shaw corridors as well as New York’s 125th St and Lenox Avenue were the boulevards and meccas of “Swing” and of the early modern jazz era of the 1930s and 40s. The show will run from July 5 – August 2, kicking off during the First Friday “Art Share” presentation on July 5 from 5:30PM – 6:30PM.
