Visit the exhibition Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do with two very special hosts: Nora Guthrie, Woody’s daughter, and Anna Canoni, Woody’s granddaughter – and get a glimpse Woody’s through the eyes of his own family.
Stop by the gallery any time between 11:00am and 2:00pm. Nora and Anna will be telling stories, exploring the exhibit, and talking about their father’s and grandfather’s life and legacy.
The interactive exhibition features more than 130 reproductions of cartoons, photographs, posters, and archival materials from the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A collaboration between the center, Woody Guthrie Publications, NYU’s Arts & Impact Initiative, and NYU Clive Davis Institute, it presents a portrait of Guthrie as a prolific and multidisciplinary artist who used music, writing, and visual art to honor working people and fight for economic justice, equality, and social change.
The exhibit will be on display March 31 through May 15, 2026.

She served as President of the Woody Guthrie Foundation for over 30 years, founded the Woody Guthrie Archive in 1992, and co-founded the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK in 2013.
