Whispers of the Soul: Documentary Screening with Artist Talk (Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart)

Location: Boedecker Cinema at the Dairy Arts Center

Whispers of the Soul: The Legacy of Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart is a featured episode from the documentary series Art Titans: Masters of the New Era, a visionary project directed by acclaimed art world figures Alan Grimandi and Viviana Puello. The series chronicles the journeys of ten master artists whose practices are shaping the contemporary art landscape, offering intimate portraits that explore creative process, cultural impact, and the evolving role of artists in society.

Kicking off Black History Month at the Dairy Arts Center, this special event also serves as a precursor to the upcoming exhibition Black Futures in Art (opening February 20), in which Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart III will be one of the exhibiting artists.

The screening centers on Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart III, a celebrated realist painter whose work captures the essence of his subjects with precision, grace, and emotional depth. Moving beyond representation, Lockhart’s practice engages in powerful social commentary, exploring themes of history, identity, and collective consciousness. His work invites viewers to question, confront, and reconsider both personal and societal narratives.

Following the screening, guests are invited to stay for an artist talk and Q&A with Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart III, offering deeper insight into his creative practice, influences, and artistic vision.
