Thanks to everyone who joined us for the opening night event to celebrate our new ART OF STAX exhibit. Special acknowledgment goes to the family of Joel Brodsky, the legendary music photographer whose work for Stax Records in the 1960s and 70s now adorns the walls of the Stax Museum's changing gallery until August 27.
