Rock Art: An American Story – An Evening with Stephen Alvarez

About This Event

What if the oldest stories ever told… are still speaking to us? Join Stephen Alvarez—award-winning photographer, longtime contributor to National Geographic and founder of the Ancient Art Archive—for an unforgettable evening that travels tens of thousands of years into humanity’s past. From ancient cave walls in Europe to rock art sites across the American West, Alvarez has spent his career documenting the earliest expressions of human creativity. In this special program, Alvarez brings those stories to life through breathtaking photography and firsthand accounts from some of the most remote and rarely seen places on Earth. Along the way, he explores what this art reveals about who we are, how we evolved and why these fragile cultural records still matter today. This event celebrates the launch of his new book, Rock Art: An American Story—a powerful reflection on our shared human history and the landscapes that hold it.
