The Hodges Library at the University of Tennessee Knoxville recently hung an exhibition entitled Beauford Delaney: Light Beyond the Canvas. It complements the Beauford Delaney Papers they hold in their Special Collections archive.
In an article published about the exhibition, a link to a YouTube video about jazz pianist Donald Brown leads to a delightful look at the Beauford-inspired song Brown composed after spending time in the archive:
Les Amis published an article about Brown's time in the archive in March 2025: Jazz Pianist Donald Brown Creates Music Inspired by Beauford
