The symposium will explore sound\, image\, and history\, offering a deeper engagement with Charles White’s multi-dimensional legacy. Discussions will consider White’s work with musicians and music media—such as illustrations for jazz album covers and film and television\, as well as his paintings\, etchings\, and drawings of musicians—and ways in which his work and legacy continue to reverberate across the cultural landscape\, particularly as an influence for contemporary artists. On February 14th\, the evening before the symposium\, Gerald Clayton will perform his piece White Cities: A Musical Tribute to Charles White\, honoring the connection between music and visual art that permeates Charles White’s artistic vision.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Free w/RSVP – Please note seating is limited – Reserve your space at the symposium here. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Reserve your space at the symposium here\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					SYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE				\n				\n				\n				\n									Saturday\, February 15\, 2025 – Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts 11:00 AM Check-In\, Welcome\, and KeynoteKeynote: “Greetings from Altadena.” by Ian WhiteCharles White’s son and chief executive of The Charles White Archives 11:30 AM Panel One: Sounds of the Black Archive: Charles White’s Contributions to Film\, Television\, and Music MediaThroughout his career\, Charles White contributed many illustrations for album jackets (mostly jazz recordings)\, books\, television\, and film.

The symposium will explore sound\, image\, and history\, offering a deeper engagement with Charles White’s multi-dimensional legacy. Discussions will consider White’s work with musicians and music media—such as illustrations for jazz album covers and film and television\, as well as his paintings\, etchings\, and drawings of musicians—and ways in which his work and legacy continue to reverberate across the cultural landscape\, particularly as an influence for contemporary artists. On February 14th\, the evening before the symposium\, Gerald Clayton will perform his piece White Cities: A Musical Tribute to Charles White\, honoring the connection between music and visual art that permeates Charles White’s artistic vision.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Free w/RSVP – Please note seating is limited – Reserve your space at the symposium here. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Reserve your space at the symposium here\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					SYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE				\n				\n				\n				\n									Saturday\, February 15\, 2025 – Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts 11:00 AM Check-In\, Welcome\, and KeynoteKeynote: “Greetings from Altadena.” by Ian WhiteCharles White’s son and chief executive of The Charles White Archives 11:30 AM Panel One: Sounds of the Black Archive: Charles White’s Contributions to Film\, Television\, and Music MediaThroughout his career\, Charles White contributed many illustrations for album jackets (mostly jazz recordings)\, books\, television\, and film.
