Jerry Uelsmann's untitled print is in an Allentown Art Museum show, "A Force for Change," of works by prominent African American artists who received grants from the Julius Rosenwald Fund.

In this new 2009-10 art season, the Muppets square off against modernism and Renoir goes up against Hollywood. The mix of exhibitions planned by the region's art museums has rarely been so eclectic.
