Much has been written about tumultuous relationships between artists – think Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera or Van Gogh and Gauguin. But often relationships between artists are much more amiable. An exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center explores the impact of a more than 40-year friendship between two well-known Kansas artists – Louis Copt documents the annual prairie burn in the Flint Hills, and Jim Brothers is a sculptor of monumental figures.

The exhibition, "From the 60's to Sixty Something: A Journey of Art and Friendship," runs through July 17, 2009 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire Street, Lawrence, Kansas.
