“Woody is just Woody.” ~John Steinbeck

The National Steinbeck Center is proud to host “Woody is just Woody ~ Steinbeck,” an exhibit by Lew Aytes. In this exhibit of art and artifacts, Lew brings to life the connections between Dorothea Lange, John Steinbeck, Will Geer, and the way that folk music stars from Woody Guthrie to Bruce Springsteen brought the plight of Dust Bowl migrants to a whole new world of music. Featuring the art of Martha Powers-Carrothers, Lew Aytes, Susan Brown, Leigh Wallace, and Mike Brown.
