Connect Gallery is proud to announce its solo exhibition, “Then and Now,” featuring the works of renowned artist Kevin A. Williams, also known as WAK. This highly anticipated show marks Williams’ first solo exhibition in Chicago, showcasing his masterful journey through four decades of capturing the essence of Black culture.  “Then and Now” is a testament to Williams’ remarkable career, which began on Chicago’s Southside.
