Exhibition Visit with Nora Guthrie and Anna Canoni

Visit the exhibition Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do with two very special hosts: Nora Guthrie, Woody’s daughter, and Anna Canoni, Woody’s granddaughter – and get a glimpse of Woody through the eyes of his own family.

Stop by the gallery any time between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Nora and Anna will be telling stories, exploring the exhibit, and talking about their father’s and grandfather’s life and legacy.

Nora Guthrie, the youngest child of Woody & Marjorie Guthrie, is the President Emeritus of Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc. She served as president of the Woody Guthrie Foundation for over 30 years, founded the Woody Guthrie Archive in 1992, and co-founded the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK in 2013. Working with her father’s archive, Nora has given unprecedented access and visibility to his creative works through new recordings, publications, films, and exhibitions. She is the executive producer of numerous GRAMMY award winning albums, recording hundreds of her father’s previously unknown lyrics set to music by contemporary musicians.

Anna Canoni, President of Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc., has worked side-by-side with her mother Nora for over two decades, on every major project and tribute to Woody Guthrie since the 1996 Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame Hard Travelin’ concerts.
