MUSEUM SHOWS & EVENTS

THE LOST WORLD: THE ART OF MINNIE EVANS

THROUGH APRIL 19th 2026

HIGH MUSEUM OF ART

ATLANTA GA

The High’s presentation reprises that 1966 title, honoring Evans’s interest in biblical and ancient civilizations while foregrounding the spiritual and historical circumstances of her extraordinary life. More than one hundred of her artworks are presented in a range of contexts, from the extrasensory experiences of her visions to the double-edged realities of her life in the Jim Crow South. Her drawings, beautiful and complex, thus become portals into her “lost world.”

Younger visitors can create birthday cards for Minnie to display in Minnie’s Gatehouse on CAM’s grounds and make artwork inspired by her use of symmetry.
