This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see inside the studio of world-renowned, Wilson-based photographer Burk Uzzle. Up to four (4) people will be accompanied by Dewane Frutiger for a tour of Uzzle's studio and portfolio of work. Transportation will be furnished to and from Wilson, North Carolina by Dewane Frutiger. Light lunch will be provided.

Uzzle's career blends American culture, individual psyches of particular places and people, and an atypical way of seeing ourselves, our values, and our community. Initially grounded in documentary photography when he was the youngest photographer hired by LIFE magazine at age 23, his work grew into a combination of split-second impressions reflecting the human condition during his tenure as a member of the prestigious international Magnum cooperative. During the 16 years he was associated with Magnum, he produced some of the most recognizable images we have of Woodstock to the assassination and funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Uzzle's archive spans almost six decades. His current work rests deep in photographic appreciation of the quiet, strong, and eloquent beauty he discovers in America's small towns and its people. The Greenville Museum of Art commissioned Uzzle to create several photographs for the collection, all of which were featured in the 2017 exhibition, "Perceptions and Recognitions: African Americans of Eastern North Carolina."
