Living History | Gage Mace

Join the Museum Friday, August 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. for a Living History event, part of the Museum’s series featuring childhood recollections. This series coincides with run of the special exhibition, Colorful Memories, November 22 Through a Child’s Eyes, a look at the Kennedy assassination through the lens of childhood. This month the Museum welcomes artist Gage Mace. A longtime artist in Portland, Oregon, Mace responded to the Kennedy assassination in the early 1990s by painting a life-size triptych of the tragedy, inspired by the Zapruder film. He donated the fourteen-foot-long piece to The Sixth Floor Museum in 2020. As a ten-year-old in 1962, Mace saw President Kennedy in Beverly Hills, California.
