Hosted by gallupArts and OFPL, librarian and local historian Joe Sabatini will review the life and career of John Roy “J.R.” Willis (1876-1960) who was once a prominent Gallup and Old Town Albuquerque artist.
Willis came to Gallup in 1917, operated a camera store and photography studio and helped start the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial. He also published hundreds of beautiful postcards of Native Americans and the Southwest.
