From promoters to performers to roustabouts, Circus Folk: Secrets Behind the Big Top unravels the secrets from behind the big top and is drawn from the Witte’s famous Hertzberg Circus Collection, one of the largest and most impressive collections of circus art and artifacts in the world. Come one, come all and discover exactly who circus folk were October 24, 2009 through February 14, 2010 in the Kathleen and Curtis Gunn Gallery.
They came from every corner of the world—some were born into it, others ran away to join it—but no matter the reason, they became circus folk, a family creating magic in a traveling tent show. It is a life lived dangerously, humorously, but most importantly, together.
