C. Parker Gallery’s upcoming Ready Player One Exhibit, from Sept. 15 through Oct. 8 will celebrate the enduring influence of games and sports on our lives through their artists’ playful takes on sports legends, board games and more.
There’s even more to the Ready Player One Exhibit as C. Parker Gallery “goes into overtime” and brings in a selection of collectibles such as signed jerseys and photographs of legends such as Kevin Durant, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
Muhammad Ali said, “Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” Athletes and artists share vision. They see the world differently from the rest of us; and they can show us their art on the field, court and diamond. Now C. Parker Gallery revisits some of the greats and their unique perspective and influence.
