Exhibition Announcment 📣
Opening April 17, 2026 🏈📸 ✨
Michael Zagaris: 60 Years of NFL Photography
📍 707 Penn Avenue Pittsburgh, PA
🗓 Opening April 17
🎟 Free and open to the public
For nearly six decades, Michael Zagaris has had unparalleled access to the NFL, capturing the on-the-field and behind-the-scenes moments that define football history. In honor of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust presents an exhibition of Zagaris work at 707 Penn Avenue. And yes, there will be a large selection of Steelers photographs in the exhibition!
Drawn from Zagaris’ rarely seen NFL archive, the photographs offer an intimate glimpse into some of the sport’s most iconic moments—on the field, sidelines, in the locker rooms, and beyond the spotlight.
From his early career as a speechwriter for Senator Bobby Kennedy to becoming the official photographer for the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Athletics, Zagaris has documented 42 Super Bowls, 12 World Series, and 14 MLB All-Star Games, earning multiple championship rings along the way. Beyond sports, his lens has captured music legends including Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and the Grateful Dead, with work published in Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and Time.

From the artist’s deep Floridian roots to storied stomping grounds in the rolling hills of Hollywood, fans throughout the nation carry the torch of the late-great Tom Petty (@tompettyofficial) in honor of what would otherwise be the all-American icon’s 75th birthday. More than the sum of awards and karaoke classics, the lifework of Petty is revered posthumously as having been central to the 1970s’ reinvigoration of classic rock and the immortalization of working-class heroes everywhere.
To celebrate the occasion, Morrison Hotel Gallery presents a selection of career-spanning highlights as seen through the lens of renowned photographers such as Jay Blakesberg, Jim Herrington, Lynn Goldsmith, Michael Zagaris and Henry Diltz among others. Now on view at link in bio.

Riding high on a string of grandiose hit records like ‘Quadrophenia’ and ‘Sell Out’, The Who (@officialthewho) faced a unique challenge in 1975: what’s the next big(ger) thing?
Daring to go in the complete opposite direction, ‘The Who By Numbers’ arrived on October 3, 1975 not with booming vocals and bombastic bass lines but rather gorgeous riffs and laid bare lyricism — and the rest is music history.
Offering a candid look at one of the exceptional group’s most enduring masterworks punctuated by fan favorites like “How Many Friends” and “However Much I Booze” (the latter of which was deemed so intense that Roger Daltrey refused to sing it) exactly 50 years onward, Morrison Hotel Gallery pays homage to The Who with select highlights now on view at morrisonhotelgallery.com

For better or worse, rock & roll has soundtracked a shifting American culture since its mid-twentieth century genesis. Footnoting powerhouse hits and primally-charged world tours, rockstar antics may be the stuff of fear, fascination and die-hard fandoms but few have done it with a panache comparable to that of The Who’s (@officialthewho) Keith Moon (@keithmoonofficial).
Forgoing the once-reckless spontaneity that gave the band its barbarous rise in favor of orchestrating the kind of anarchy afforded only to chart-topping demigods, the famously unruly drummer brought traffic to a standstill on April 30, 1976 when he paid nine taxi drivers to barricade each end of a New York City block so that he could prudently hurl the contents of his hotel room out the window and into the fortuitously vacant street below. Provided no one was harmed in the process, Moon’s doling out of $100 to each driver and an indeterminate total to the hotel for damages done #onthisday earns him a priceless position in the hallowed pantheon of music history’s most outrageous moments.

Willie Mays…American Icon…more than one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of spikes…more than a five tool player…Willie was Americana…for anyone who grew up in the 50’s…the 60’s…Willie was a celebration of youth…excellence… exuberance…an almost mythical persona from a bygone era…the way he swung the bat, ran the bases, the pop up slides, the basket catch…the arm…the enduring laughter….a storybook character from what now seems another time…He is seared into the soul of all of us who were fortunate enough to watch him play…Willie…you will always live in our hearts…photo 4/28/17
