The Great Departure Lounge: A Conversation on Michael Tracy

Join the McNay Art Museum for an insightful discussion on the life and work of the late artist and activist Michael Tracy. Head of Curatorial Affairs René Paul Barilleaux will speak with Luanne McKinnon, author of an upcoming book on Tracy. Together, they will explore his boundary-pushing artistry, from vibrant paintings to sculptural assemblages, and his engagement with themes of faith, ritual, immigration, and the environment.

This conversation accompanies the special exhibition, Michael Tracy: The Elegy of Distance.
