Please join us for a Do Good Salon on Thursday, October 9 at 6:00PM featuring a talk by the Clay Family and curator photographer Ashley Gates.

In Threes: Photographs of Maude Schuyler Clay, Langdon Clay, and Sophia Clay. This exhibition presents the intertwined visions of a married couple—celebrated Southern photographers Maude and Langdon Clay—and their youngest daughter, Sophia, who is forging her own artistic path at age 30.

Anchored in the Mississippi Delta town of Sumner, the Clays’ collective body of work spans decades, revealing not just a shared craft, but a deeply personal bond. In Threes serves as an intimate vignette of a family of photographers spanning decades. Acting as the first exhibition as a family, the Clay’s work reveals not just a shared craft but a deeply personal bond between the artists. The curation centers on threes: groupings link their images in sets, blurring stylistic boundaries and exposing patterns of repetition and divergence. Together, their works—sometimes of the same subject, often of each other—trace a visual dialogue across generations. These works, many exhibited here for the first time, offer a fresh view of the Clays’ artistic legacy, where time, family, and place converge.
