“Woody is Just Woody,” an exhibition expressing the inspired connection between the author of The Grapes of Wrath and the folk singer Woody Guthrie, is on display through August 25, 2023, in the fifth floor art gallery of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library at San Jose State University. Organized by Peter Van Coutren, curator of San Jose State’s John Steinbeck collection, it features sculpture by Lew Aytes (see photo) and poster-size covers from foreign-language editions of John Steinbeck’s 1939 masterpiece. The exhibition is open to the public from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays and from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
