Join the Orange Community Arts Guild for an extraordinary evening celebrating the life and legacy of a global icon. We are proud to present the official book release and exhibition for "Prince: Black, White, Color" by award-winning photographer and art director Steve Parke.

Having worked as Prince’s in-house art director at Paisley Park for 13 years, Steve Parke held a position of unique trust, capturing the "Visionary" in moments the public rarely saw. This event marks the 10th anniversary of Prince’s passing with a stunning visual chronicle that reveals the artist as never before.

Special Guest Moderator: Stacia Lang

We are thrilled to announce that the evening's conversation will be moderated by Stacia Lang, the renowned costume designer who defined Prince’s "Gangster Glam" era. Having designed iconic looks for the Diamonds and Pearls and Love Symbol albums, Stacia brings a unique perspective on collaborating with Prince to bring his legendary aesthetic to life.
